# Akoya: Agent-Direct Score C (66.2%) Site: https://www.theknickerbocker.com/dine-drink/akoya/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/theknickerbocker.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.) Akoya is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open Akoya's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Resy, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Phone: 9172446007 - Address: 6 Times Sq, 10036, New York ## Nearby, also direct Places near Akoya that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - The Mermaid Bar (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/themermaidnyc.com - Bubba Gump Shrimp Company (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/bubbagump.com - Big Blue Seafood & Grill (360 m): https://directindex.org/r/bigblueseafoodandgrill.com - Blue Fin (430 m): https://directindex.org/r/bluefinnyc.com - Oceana (580 m): https://directindex.org/r/oceanarestaurant.com ## What to fix first - **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 - **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **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 - **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +1212.204.4980, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 9172446007. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org. ## 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. ``` # Akoya > restaurant (seafood) in 6 Times Sq, 10036, New York, New York.
