Shiro Ramen is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Shiro Ramen's website. It can read what Shiro Ramen offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Clover.

## What to fix first
- **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
- **Clover's terms ban bots and automated use, but a direct form on your own site has no such limit.** (+5 points) Clover's consumer app terms (8 June 2023, section 3.5), linked from its online ordering pages, bar any deep-link, robot, spider or other device or process to access, copy or monitor the site or app, and bar the use of buying agents; no agent programme was found. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.clover.com/consumer/terms. An agent that books or orders there goes against the vendor's terms unless the vendor allows it. A form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2019.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Hamilton, 71% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

## Fix kit: What to paste

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Ordering through clover on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
