Site: https://www.distillerydubai.com

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.)
Distillery is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Distillery's website. What Distillery offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://distillerydubai.com/event/hoteliers-night/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://distillerydubai.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2026-Ala-Carte.pdf
- Phone: 054 998 2003

## What to fix first

- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +971582828099, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 054 998 2003. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## 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": "Organization",
  "name": "Distillery",
  "url": "https://www.distillerydubai.com",
  "telephone": "054 998 2003",
  "address": "Manzil Downtown Dubai Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Blvd, دبي",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 25.191086,
    "longitude": 55.277746
  },
  "potentialAction": [

      "target": {
        "@type": "EntryPoint",
        "urlTemplate": "https://distillerydubai.com/event/hoteliers-night/",
        "actionPlatform": [
          "http://schema.org/DesktopWebPlatform",
          "http://schema.org/MobileWebPlatform"
        ]
      },
      "result": {
        "@type": "Reservation",
        "name": "Reservation"
      }
    }
  ]
}
</script>
```
