# Sorella: Agent-Direct Score C (56.5%) Site: http://Www.sorellauppermill.co.uk/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/sorellauppermill.com Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Sorella is partly visible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Sorella's website. What Sorella offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. It finds a way to book or order directly, through svtables.com. ## Direct links - Order directly: https://app.squareup.com/gift/MLMH1PFBFTBVK/order (through square acting for the business) - Menu: https://sorellauppermill.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/sorella2026.pdf - Phone: 01457 877477 - Address: High Street 38 Uppermill ## Nearby, also direct Places near Sorella that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Muse (40 m): https://directindex.org/r/museuppermill.com - Hei Hei (70 m): https://directindex.org/r/heiheieaterie.co.uk - Greene’s Bistro & Parlour (220 m): https://directindex.org/r/grandpagreenes.co.uk - Shalimar (300 m): https://directindex.org/r/shalimaruppermill.co.uk - Saltuppermill (330 m): https://directindex.org/r/saltuppermill.co.uk ## 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 - **Booking through an unrecognised third party.** (+5 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429) 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 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 - **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 ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **The footer says © 2024.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Manchester, 79% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later. ## 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. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Sorella > restaurant (italian) in High Street 38 Uppermill, Manchester.
