## Direct links
- Menu: https://www.pardoncoffee.com.au/_files/ugd/75eaea_b3bb8f1115b04859a4afeb8a031507e9.pdf
- Phone: +61 431 611 518

## What to fix first
- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+13 points) Only a phone number or WhatsApp, which agents cannot use yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so an agent can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as HTML, keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (CafeOrCoffeeShop).** address, phone, opening hours
