Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
By Amy Lou is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open By Amy Lou's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Booksy, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Phone: +447501598405
- Address: 120 Ashton Road, M34 3JE, Manchester

## Nearby, also direct
Places near By Amy Lou that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- The Queens Arms (1.7 km): https://directindex.org/r/queensarmsaudenshaw.co.uk

## What to fix first
- **Booking only through booksy.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

## 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.

## 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.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Booksy works with agents through its partners.** Booksy's US customer terms (June 2026), section 4.2.6, bar automated tools such as bots, crawlers or scrapers collecting data from the app; the sanctioned agent path is Google AI Mode, which books into the provider's calendar. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://booksy.com/en-us/p/terms. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
