# TEA18: Agent-Direct Score F (31.2%) Site: https://tea18.jp Report: https://directindex.org/r/tea18.jp 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.) TEA18 is largely invisible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by TEA18's website. What TEA18 offers is in a PDF or an image, and assistants read those badly. It can't find a link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Menu: https://www.tea18.jp/pdf/t18_menu_carolie_2026.pdf - Hours, from OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps: Mon–Sun 11:00–22:00 ## Nearby, also direct Places near TEA18 that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - 英国パブ シャーロックホームズ (130 m): https://directindex.org/r/pub-sherlock.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.** (+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 - **Menu or price list is a PDF.** (+3 points) Most agents skip PDFs or read them badly. Publish it as an HTML page and keep the PDF as a download. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript - **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 ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **The footer says © 2009.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Osaka, 46% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later. - **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is. In Osaka, 12% of comparable sites declare one. ## 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. ``` # TEA18 > cafe or coffee shop in Osaka cafes and bars. ## Book or order directly - Menu: https://www.tea18.jp/pdf/t18_menu_carolie_2026.pdf ## Opening hours 11:00-22:00 ## About - Website: https://tea18.jp - This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models. ``` ## Already right - **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed. ## Where it stands 1099 of 1766 in Osaka cafes and bars.
