Top Way is partly visible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Top Way's website. It can read what Top Way offers. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online.

## Direct links
- Menu: https://topway-wigan.co.uk/?scroll-to-menu=true
- Phone: +44 1942 925231

## What to fix first
- Prices: 140 prices on the site, the middle one £6.00

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **140 prices on the landing page, the middle one £6.00.** 

- **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 01942323247, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +44 1942 925231. 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

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
