# Sandbar: Agent-Direct Score F (30.8%) Site: https://sandbarmanchester.co.uk/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/sandbarmanchester.co.uk Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.) Sandbar is largely invisible to agents. ## What to fix first - **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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No booking or ordering path at all.** (+15 points) Agents have nothing to act on. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Agents and browsers downrank or refuse it. - **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript - **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business ## 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. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Sandbar > bar or pub in Grosvenor Street 120 M1 7HL Manchester, Manchester cafes and bars. ## Opening hours Su-We 12:00-00:00; Th 12:00-01:00; Fr-Sa 12:00-00:20; PH ## About - Website: https://sandbarmanchester.co.uk/ - This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models. ``` ## 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. ## Where it stands 150 of 194 in Manchester cafes and bars.
