Site: https://thearchibald.com.au/dine/paolos/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/thearchibald.com.au
Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Paolo’s is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Paolo’s's website. What Paolo’s offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. It finds a way to book or order directly, through SevenRooms.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.sevenrooms.com/explore/paolosgosford/reservations/create/search (through sevenrooms acting for the business)
- Menu: https://thearchibald.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Paolos-Menu-2026.pdf
- Phone: +61243270760

## What to fix first
- Prices: 4 prices on the site, the middle one A$14.00

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **4 prices on the landing page, the middle one A$14.00.** In Sydney, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is A$20.00.

- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: address, telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

## 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.

## 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 (Organization).** opening hours
- **Booking through sevenrooms on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer 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. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://sevenrooms.com/terms-of-service/. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
