# Helderberg College of Higher Education- Cafeteria: Agent-Direct Score C (56.5%) Site: https://hche.ac.za/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/hche.ac.za Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Helderberg College of Higher Education- Cafeteria is partly visible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Helderberg College of Higher Education- Cafeteria's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through forms.gle. ## Direct links - Phone: +27641742405 - Address: 26 Annandale St, 7130, Somerset West - WhatsApp: a link on the site ## Nearby, also direct Places near Helderberg College of Higher Education- Cafeteria that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - John Dory's (2.5 km): https://directindex.org/r/johndorys.com - Ooskus Somerset West (2.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/ooskussomersetwest.co.za - The Farmhouse Somerset West (2.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/thefarmhouse.co.za ## What to fix first - **Ordering through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps - **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 - **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_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 - **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 +27218507500, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +27641742405. 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. ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **The footer says © 2024.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Cape Town, 67% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later. ## 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. ``` # Helderberg College of Higher Education- Cafeteria > organization in 26 Annandale St, 7130, Somerset West, Cape Town.
