Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Van. Tea Cafe is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants can't open Van. Tea Cafe's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## What to fix first

- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (origin_timeout). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +1%20604-370-0956, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +16045659983. 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Van. Tea Cafe",
  "url": "https://vanteacafe.com",

    }

}

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without going through a marketplace.
