- My Greek - Street Food Original (280 m): https://directindex.org/r/mygreekstreetfood.com
- Delhi Chaat N' Cafe (350 m): https://directindex.org/r/delhichaatncafe.co.uk
- Not the Queen's Arms page any more (800 m): https://directindex.org/r/queensarmseccles.uk
- Mystery Box Eccles (1.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/mysterybox-eccles.co.uk

## What to fix first
- **Booking through an unrecognised third party.** (+5 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +44 161 000 0000, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +441613171507. 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.

## 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 (Restaurant).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Ordering through flipdish on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
