# Vesper Gate: Agent-Direct Score F (34.3%) Site: https://www.vespergate.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/vespergate.com Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Vesper Gate is largely invisible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Vesper Gate's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to TableAgent, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Phone: 07490054004 - Address: Abbey Road LS5 3NG Leeds ## Nearby, also direct Places near Vesper Gate that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Kirkstall Bridge Inn (830 m): https://directindex.org/r/kirkstallbridge.co.uk - The Three Swords (2.3 km): https://directindex.org/r/thethreeswords.co.uk - The Vinyl Whistle (2.3 km): https://directindex.org/r/vinylwhistle.co.uk - Truly Scrummy (2.5 km): https://directindex.org/r/trulyscrummy.com ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (CafeOrCoffeeShop, BarOrPub or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **Booking only through tableagent.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. 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 page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429), ClaudeBot (http_429) 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 ## 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 ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Vesper Gate > bar or pub in Abbey Road LS5 3NG Leeds, Leeds cafes and bars.
