Site: https://www.thecookingschool.com.au
Report: https://directindex.org/r/thecookingschool.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.)
The Cooking School is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open The Cooking School'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 Rezdy.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://thecookingschool.rezdy.com/ (through rezdy acting for the business)
- Phone: (02) 8001 6501

## What to fix first

- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows + 0423 410 290, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (02) 8001 6501. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## 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 (LocalBusiness).** address, phone
- **Booking through rezdy on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
