# Mareluna: Agent-Direct Score B (71.7%)

Site: https://www.marelunanyc.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/marelunanyc.com
Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Mareluna is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Mareluna's website. It can read what Mareluna offers. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://marelunanyc.getbento.com/email-signup/ (through bentobox acting for the business)
- Menu: https://www.marelunanyc.com/menus-soho/
- Phone: 12125107774
- Address: 137 Sullivan St, 10012-3057, New York
- Its menu mentions: vegan options, vegetarian dishes, a lunch or set menu

## What to fix first
- **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
- **Booking only through resy.** (+5 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

## 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.
