Site: https://www.salsbistro.co/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/salsbistro.co
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.)
Sal’s Bistro is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants can't open Sal’s Bistro's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.sevenrooms.com/landing/salsbistro (through sevenrooms acting for the business)
- Phone: 0507880222

## 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 (http_403). 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 structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to qrfy.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Ordering only through deliveroo.** (+5 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +97145760333, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 0507880222. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## 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
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **Booking through sevenrooms on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **SevenRooms works with agents through its partners.** SevenRooms' terms (17 April 2026) bar any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means except bona fide search engines; Google names SevenRooms as an AI Mode booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://sevenrooms.com/terms-of-service/. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
