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.)
Lane7 is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://booking.lane7.com/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://lane7.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Lane7-T1-Drinks-Food_Winter-Menu-Edinburgh_V1_Digital.pdf
- Phone: +0131%203730003

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+4 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Live fetches as ClaudeBot (http_429) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list 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 HTML, keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## 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.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without a marketplace in the loop.
