Site: https://ubgeneralstore.com.au/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/genstore.com.au
Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
General Store Bakery & Coffee House is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants cannot open the website of General Store Bakery & Coffee House, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://genstore.com.au/collections/water-tank-cleaning-treatment (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://genstore.com.au/pages/bulk-water-truck-delivery (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://genstore.com.au/collections/water-cartage
- Phone: +61 3 5944 3310

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **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.
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without a marketplace in the loop.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without a marketplace in the loop.
