# Shmoné: Agent-Direct Score F (15.4%)

Site: https://www.shmonenyc.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/shmonenyc.com
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Shmoné is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants can't open Shmoné's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## 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 (cloudflare_challenge). 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
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Booking only through resy.** (+12 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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **3 prices on the landing page, the middle one $75.00.** In New York, 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Resy works with agents through its partners.** Resy's terms (9 June 2025) bar automated software that crawls, harvests or scrapes the service and require written consent for other automated use; Resy opened bookings inside ChatGPT on 10 August 2026. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://resy.com/terms. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.

## Since the scan of 2026-10-14 (F then)
- Fixed: The site couldn't be read at all
- New: The site turned away every visitor that wasn't a browser; No structured data for the business; Booking only through a marketplace
