Site: https://www.montgomerystcafe.com.au
Report: https://directindex.org/r/montgomerystcafe.com.au
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Montgomery St Cafe is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Montgomery St Cafe, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.montgomerystcafe.com.au/reservations (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://www.montgomerystcafe.com.au/online-ordering (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +61 2 9587 7437

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.
