# C&B: Agent-Direct Score D (50.8%) Site: http://www.candbnyc.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/candbnyc.com Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.) C&B is hard for agents to use. ## What to fix first - **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 - **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Agents and browsers downrank or refuse it. - **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 - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business ## 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 ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # C&B > cafe or coffee shop in East 7th Street 178 10009 New York, New York cafes and bars. ## Opening hours Mo-Su 09:00-16:00 ## About - Website: http://www.candbnyc.com/ - This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models. ``` ## 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. - **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address, opening hours ## Since the scan of 2026-10-14 (D then) - Fixed: nothing - New: nothing ## Where it stands 829 of 1612 in New York cafes and bars.
