# Crocus Coffee: Agent-Direct Score F (30.2%) Site: http://www.crocuscafenyc.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/crocuscafenyc.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.) Crocus Coffee is largely invisible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Crocus Coffee's website. It can read what Crocus Coffee offers. It can't find a link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Menu: https://www.crocuscafenyc.com/copy-of-menu - Phone: (718) 230-1639 - Address: 328 Tompkins Ave, 11216, Brooklyn ## Nearby, also direct Places near Crocus Coffee that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Maya Congee Cafe (80 m): https://directindex.org/r/mayacongeecafe.com - Brown Butter (350 m): https://directindex.org/r/brownbutternyc.com - Corto (470 m): https://directindex.org/r/cortocafenyc.com - Ursula (520 m): https://directindex.org/r/ursulabk.com - Lucky's Cocktail Lounge (520 m): https://directindex.org/r/luckyscocktail.com ## 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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No booking or ordering link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) 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 - **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended.** (+3.7 points) 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 - **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript - **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 ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **The footer says © 2023.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In New York, 73% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later. ## 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 ``` robots.txt. Add these lines to /robots.txt and delete any Disallow rule that names these crawlers. ``` # Let AI assistants read the site: they send people to you; a marketplace keeps them. # Remove any Disallow lines for these names elsewhere in this file.
