Weaves & waves is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Weaves & waves's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online.

## Direct links
- Phone: +441942375330
- Address: 432 Ormskirk Road, WN5 9DF, Wigan
- WhatsApp: a link on the site

## What to fix first
- **No online booking 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 an online appointment page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No price list of services found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer and what does it cost?' from marketplaces and directories instead. Add a page that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (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

## 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": "Person",
  "name": "Weaves & waves",
  "url": "http://www.weavesandwaves.com/",
  "telephone": "+441942375330",
  "address": "432 Ormskirk Road, WN5 9DF, Wigan",
  "geo": {

    "latitude": 53.53540245,

}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (Person).** no address, phone or hours in it
