# Steve's: Agent-Direct Score F (38.5%)

Site: https://www.steves.com.au/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/steves.com.au
Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Steve's is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants cannot open the website of Steve's, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.sevenrooms.com/explore/steves/reservations/create/search/ (through sevenrooms acting for the business)
- Phone: +61 8 9386 3336

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (http_429); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Ordering through an unrecognised third party.** (+5 points) Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Structured data present (Bakery).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Booking through sevenrooms on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **SevenRooms works with agents through its partners.** SevenRooms' terms (17 April 2026) bar any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means except bona fide search engines; Google names SevenRooms as an AI Mode booking partner. Read 2026-10-15: https://sevenrooms.com/terms-of-service/. An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
