# Sobe Dubai: Agent-Direct Score D (50.8%)

Site: http://www.sobedubai.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/sobedubai.com
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.)
Sobe Dubai is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Sobe Dubai's website. What Sobe Dubai offers is on another site. It finds a way to book or order directly, through SevenRooms.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.sevenrooms.com/reservations/soberooftoploungedxbtp/marriott-com-gdp (through sevenrooms acting for the business)
- Order directly: https://www.sobedubai.com/happenings (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +97142455800

## What to fix first

- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Requests as GPTBot (challenge:access denied), ClaudeBot (challenge:access denied), PerplexityBot (challenge:access denied) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to flipsnack.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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.
