# Salsa En Manchester: Agent-Direct Score C (56.5%) Site: https://maracas-barandrestaurant.co.uk Report: https://directindex.org/r/maracas-barandrestaurant.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.) Salsa En Manchester is partly visible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Salsa En Manchester's website. What Salsa En Manchester offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. To book or order, it is sent to TheFork, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Menu: https://maracas-barandrestaurant.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Food-menu-maracas-digital-Menu.pdf - Phone: 07737 097549 - Address: Arch 100, M3 5DW, Salford ## Nearby, also direct Places near Salsa En Manchester that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Roast House (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/roasthousemanchester.co.uk - Crabbishmcr (230 m): https://directindex.org/r/crabbish.co.uk - The Black Friar (250 m): https://directindex.org/r/theblackfriarsalford.co.uk - EastZEast (270 m): https://directindex.org/r/eastzeast.com - Don Bravo (350 m): https://directindex.org/r/donbravo.co.uk ## What to fix first - **Booking only through thefork.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 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 - **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **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 ## 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. ``` # Salsa En Manchester > organization in Arch 100, M3 5DW, Salford, Manchester.
