Site: http://www.thegoodcatch.co.uk
Report: https://directindex.org/r/thegoodcatch.co.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Good Catch is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by The Good Catch's website. It can read what The Good Catch offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://thegoodcatch.co.uk/2018/05/01/outside-catering-now-available/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://thegoodcatch.co.uk/menu/
- Phone: +441619411208
- Address: 160 Stamford Park Rd, WA15 8AL, Altrincham

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403) 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 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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2018.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Manchester, 75% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

## 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">
