Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Merika Cafe & Restaurant is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Merika Cafe & Restaurant's website. It can read what Merika Cafe & Restaurant offers. It can't find a link to book or order online.

- Phone: +61448670537

## What to fix first

- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. 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 on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 0423728020, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +61448670537. 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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Restaurant",
  "name": "Merika Cafe & Restaurant",
  "url": "http://merikacafe.com.au/",
  "telephone": "+61448670537",
  "address": "Unit 3/1425 Main Rd, 3095, Melbourne",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": -37.70149872,
    "longitude": 145.17343764
  },
  "hasMenu": "https://www.merikacafe.com.au/menu"
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (Restaurant).** address, phone
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
