## Direct links
- Book directly: https://booking.newmarkhotels.com/en/newmarkhotelsreserves/locations?currency=ZAR&accepted-cookie-policies=necessary (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://newmarkhotels.com/newmark-blog/winter-menus-culinary-craft-with-newmark-hotels-reserves
- Phone: +27 10 110 1100

## What to fix first
- WhatsApp: a link on the site

- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read items and prices directly.
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without a marketplace in the loop.
