Site: https://nikawa.it/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/nikawa.it
Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Nikawa is largely invisible to agents.

## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (http_403). 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
- **Booking through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to foodboard.it, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is. In Bologna, 20% of comparable sites declare one.
- **7 prices on the landing page, the middle one €16.90.** In Bologna, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is €14.00.

## 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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Restaurant",
  "name": "Nikawa",
  "url": "https://nikawa.it/",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 44.4792409,
    "longitude": 11.3861555
  },
  "hasMenu": "https://smartmenu.foodboard.it/nikawa/menu/"
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
