# Shinmachi: Agent-Direct Score C (62%) Site: https://www.japanesetapasshinmachi.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/japanesetapasshinmachi.com Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.) Shinmachi is partly visible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of Shinmachi. It can read what Shinmachi offers.

This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. 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 - **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models.
