# Velvet: Agent-Direct Score F (35.4%)

Site: https://www.velvetcork.ie/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/velvetcork.ie
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.)
Velvet is largely invisible to agents.

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). 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
- **No booking or ordering path at all.** (+15 points) Agents have nothing to act on. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript

## 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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "CafeOrCoffeeShop",
  "name": "Velvet",
  "url": "https://www.velvetcork.ie/",

    }
  ]
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
