After the top fixes
With the two fixes above (No tickets and prices found; Structured data is incomplete), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 2nd of 112 in Durban tours, attractions and museums, up from 5th.
What to fix first
- No tickets and prices found +7 points
Agents answer 'what does it cost and when?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with tickets, times and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. How to fix it
- Structured data is incomplete +3 points
Missing: opening hours. How to fix it
- The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data
The site shows +15149479388, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +27317027279. 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.
