# The Grey Mare: Agent-Direct Score D (54.9%) Site: http://www.greymareramsbottom.co.uk/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/greymareramsbottom.co.uk 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.) The Grey Mare is hard for agents to use. Some AI assistants are turned away by The Grey Mare's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Phone: +441706823252 - Address: 25-27 Bolton St, BL0 9HU, Bury ## Nearby, also direct Places near The Grey Mare that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - The Blind Tiger Bar (60 m): https://directindex.org/r/theblindtiger.co.uk - MJ’s Bar (60 m): https://directindex.org/r/mjsramsbottom.com - Grind & Tamp (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/grindandtamp.co.uk - We are MotherZen (100 m): https://directindex.org/r/wearemotherzen.com - The Old Bank (120 m): https://directindex.org/r/theoldbankramsbottom.com ## What to fix first - **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **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 - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as ClaudeBot (http_403) 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 - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: address, telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **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 07714169896, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +441706823252. 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 ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # The Grey Mare > bar or pub in 25-27 Bolton St, BL0 9HU, Bury, Manchester cafes and bars.
