# The Lead Station: Agent-Direct Score C (55.4%) Site: http://theleadstation.co.uk/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/theleadstation.co.uk Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.) The Lead Station is partly visible to agents. This listing was retired on 2026-10-15: it no longer appears in the index's source for its city. The report stays; the business is out of the rankings and counts. ## Direct links - Menu: http://theleadstation.co.uk/our-menus/ - Phone: +44 161 881 5559 ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **Booking through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Agents and browsers downrank or refuse it. - **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business ## Fix kit: What to paste Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # The Lead Station > restaurant in Beech Road 99 M21 9EQ Manchester, Manchester.
