## What to fix first
- **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Ordering only through deliveroo.** (no points, but worth doing) 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 +441162230123, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 0121 820 7522. 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.

## 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.
- **Structured data found (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without going through a marketplace.
