Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
The Distillery is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of The Distillery. What The Distillery offers is in a PDF or an image, which assistants read poorly. It finds a way to book or order directly, through ResDiary.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://booking.resdiary.com/widget/Standard/TheDistillerySutton/67650 (through resdiary acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.inapub.co.uk/uploads/dbfiles/36164e88862f437b99d45525ff810fa2.pdf

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## 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.

- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## 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.
- **Booking through resdiary on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **ResDiary works with agents through its partners.** ResDiary's consumer terms bar any robot, spider, scraper or other automatic means of access except as expressly authorised by ResDiary; Google names ResDiary as an AI Mode booking partner. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.resdiary.com/old/Terms. An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
