Report: https://directindex.org/r/blackhorsehotel.au
Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Black Horse Hotel is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open The Black Horse Hotel's website. It can read what The Black Horse Hotel offers. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://blackhorsehotel.au/menu
- Phone: +61393071182

## What to fix first

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2020.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Melbourne, 74% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "The Black Horse Hotel",
  "url": "http://blackhorsehotel.au/",
  "telephone": "+61393071182",
  "address": "80 Bulla Rd, 3428, Melbourne",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": -37.63741663,
    "longitude": 144.80592163
  }
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
