Site: http://www.bluemaiz.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/maiznyc.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.)
Blue Maiz Kitchen is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Blue Maiz Kitchen's website. It can read what Blue Maiz Kitchen offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://maiznyc.com/catering/index.html (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://maiznyc.com/menu/index.html
- Phone: +1-212-704-2108
- Address: 8th Avenue 606

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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
- **Ordering through an unrecognised third party.** (no points, but worth doing) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 2127042106, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +1-212-704-2108. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## 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.
