Report: https://directindex.org/r/bruceteacoffee.com.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.)
Bruce Tea & Coffee is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants can't open Bruce Tea & Coffee's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://bruce-tea-and-coffee-103403.square.site/cafe-orders (through square acting for the business)
- Phone: +61-404-444-757

## What to fix first
- Prices: 42 prices on the site, the middle one A$39.50

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **42 prices on the landing page, the middle one A$39.50.** In Sydney, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is A$21.00.

- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (CafeOrCoffeeShop).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Ordering through square on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
