Site: http://www.therailwaydog.com.au/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/therailwaydog.com.au
Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Railway Dog is ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open The Railway Dog's website. It can read what The Railway Dog offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.therailwaydog.com.au/ (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://squareup.com/gift/KGPBJY4EEH68P/order (through square acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.therailwaydog.com.au/menu
- Phone: +61482624634

## What to fix first

- **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 0444512871, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +61482624634. 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
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without going through a marketplace.
- **Ordering through square on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
