# The Leigh Tyldesley & Atherton Journal: Agent-Direct Score D (46.9%) Site: http://www.thisisleigh.co.uk Report: https://directindex.org/r/leighjournal.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 Leigh Tyldesley & Atherton Journal is hard for agents to use. Some AI assistants are turned away by The Leigh Tyldesley & Atherton Journal'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: +441925596444 - Address: 12 Bold Street, WN5 9EL, Wigan ## Nearby, also direct Places near The Leigh Tyldesley & Atherton Journal that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Red Robin Wacky Warehouse (1.3 km): https://directindex.org/r/wackywarehouse.co.uk - Poacher (1.5 km): https://directindex.org/r/poacherwigan.co.uk ## 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 - **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User.** (+7.5 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents - **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.** (+4 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. 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 (01942) 672241, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +441925596444. 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 ``` robots.txt. Add these lines to /robots.txt and delete any Disallow rule that names these crawlers. ``` # Let AI assistants read the site: they send people to you; a marketplace keeps them. # Remove any Disallow lines for these names elsewhere in this file.
