Report: https://directindex.org/r/rusetavern.com.au
Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Ruse Tavern is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Ruse Tavern's website. It can read what Ruse Tavern offers. It can't find a link to book or order online.

## What to fix first

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2015.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Sydney, 76% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

- **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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Ruse Tavern",
  "url": "http://www.rusetavern.com.au/",
  "telephone": "+61246268294",
  "address": "225 Junction Rd, 2560, Sydney",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": -34.07249299,
    "longitude": 150.84215458
  }
}
</script>
```

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

## Already right
