The Exchange

What to fix first

1. No booking or ordering path at all +13 points

   Only a phone number or WhatsApp. Agents cannot act on those yet. Add a booking or ordering page. How to fix it

2. Structured data is incomplete +7 points

   Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

3. 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. How to fix it

4. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points

   Live fetches as ClaudeBot (http_429), PerplexityBot (http_429) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it

No direct path on record: the scan of 2026-10-14 found no booking or ordering link on theexchange.com.sg or on a vendor's site. The same record is served as JSON at /api/direct/theexchange.com.sg, through the MCP tool direct_record and in the city feed /city/singapore-cafes-bars/direct.json.

Owners: claim the business below to correct this record; the claim email carries the link.

Can an agent transact?

Measured, not scored: the Agent-Direct Score stays at specification v1.0. This says which rails an agent could transact through today, and what the booking or ordering vendor's terms allow.

Not measured at this scan; the next scan measures it.

The next scan also reads the contact, menu and booking pages one hop deeper; facts found there can change the score.
