Square Root London is largely invisible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Square Root London's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through app.sellar.io.

## 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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Ordering through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
