# Bridge Road Brewers: Agent-Direct Score D (40%)

Site: https://bridgeroadbrewers.com.au/pages/brunswick
Report: https://directindex.org/r/bridgeroadbrewers.com.au
Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Bridge Road Brewers is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Bridge Road Brewers, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.opentable.com.au/widget/reservation/mural?restaurantIds=171005&type=standard&colorThemeId=1&isDarkMode=false&isIframe=true&domain=comau&lang=en-AU&isNewTab=false&otSource=Restaurant%20website&font=BrandonText&primaryColor=ffffff&primaryFontColor=333333&buttonColor=da3743&buttonFontColor=ffffff&logoPid=0&backgroundPid=0&demo=false&otLogo=standard&loadAllWidgets=false&uuid=6580d960-d732-4272-a358-346afe4170a494&theme=standard (through opentable acting for the business)
- Order directly: https://bridgeroadbrewers.com.au/pages/take-away-pizza-bottle-shop (on the business's own site)
- Phone: 0357282703

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list lives on another site.** (+5 points) The link points to gotab.io, so the credit and the traffic go there. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Booking through opentable on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without a marketplace in the loop.
