## Direct links
- Menu: https://catandfiddle.com.au/food-menu/
- Phone: 0299736757

## What to fix first
- **Booking through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "BarOrPub",
  "name": "The Cat & Fiddle",
  "url": "https://www.catandfiddle.com.au/",
  "telephone": "0299736757",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": -33.8567931,
    "longitude": 151.1727443
  },
  "hasMenu": "https://catandfiddle.com.au/food-menu/"
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
