# Snack Box: Agent-Direct Score D (44.6%)

Site: http://www.cititour.com/NYC_Restaurants/Snack-Box/5266
Report: https://directindex.org/r/cititour.com
Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Snack Box is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants can't open Snack Box'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.** (+17.5 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). 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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User.** (no points, but worth doing) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents

## 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.

<script type="application/ld+json">

## Already right
- **Structured data found (Restaurant).** address, phone
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking through getyourguide on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **GetYourGuide works with agents through its partners.** GetYourGuide's consumer terms page answered 403 on 2026-10-15; its Partner API wiki says to request an API key from a partner manager, with booking only at the booking tier, and a ChatGPT app is listed. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://github.com/getyourguide/partner-api-spec/wiki. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
