# Retrograde: Agent-Direct Score D (44.2%) Site: https://www.retrogradednvr.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/retrogradednvr.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.) Retrograde is hard for agents to use. Some AI assistants are turned away by Retrograde's website. It can read what Retrograde offers. It can't find a link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Menu: https://retrogradednvr.com/now-playing/ - Address: East 19th Avenue 530 80203 Denver - Its menu mentions: allergens ## Nearby, also direct Places near Retrograde that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Boots Spaces (120 m): https://directindex.org/r/campfiredenver.com - Rumours Karaoke Cafe (330 m): https://directindex.org/r/rumourskaraokecafe.com - Ms. Marji's (410 m): https://directindex.org/r/msmarjis.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.** (+3.3 points) Requests as 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 - **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. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Retrograde > bar or pub in East 19th Avenue 530 80203 Denver, Denver cafes and bars. ## Book or order directly - Menu: https://retrogradednvr.com/now-playing/ ## About - Website: https://www.retrogradednvr.com/ - This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models. ``` ## Already right - **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents. - **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices. ## Where it stands 393 of 629 in Denver cafes and bars.
