Report: https://directindex.org/r/sakurajapanelizabethnj.com
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Sakura Japan is ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://order.sakurajapanelizabethnj.com/menu (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.sakurajapanelizabethnj.com/#menu
- Phone: +1-908-354-0015

## What to fix first
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot.** (+1.2 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
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

robots.txt. Add these lines to /robots.txt and delete any Disallow rule that names these crawlers.

```
# Let AI assistants read the site: they send people to you; a marketplace keeps them.
# Remove any Disallow lines for these names elsewhere in this file.
