Metro Cafe is largely invisible to agents.

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering only through deliveroo.** (+12 points) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (http_403) 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
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Agents and browsers downrank or refuse it.
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "CafeOrCoffeeShop",
  "name": "Metro Cafe",
  "url": "http://www.metrocafe.ie/directions/",
  "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "William Street South 43",
    "addressLocality": "Dublin"
  },
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 53.3412261,
    "longitude": -6.2629584
  },
  "hasMenu": "http://www.metrocafe.ie/menu/"
}
</script>
```

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
