Scanned: 2026-10-20 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Moti Mahal is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants can't open Moti Mahal's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. 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 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.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.

## Already right

- **Structured data found (Restaurant).** address, opening hours
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without going through a marketplace.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without going through a marketplace.
