Report: https://directindex.org/r/austinbattours.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.)
Austin Bat Tours is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Austin Bat Tours's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Viator.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.viator.com/orion/partner/widget.js (through viator acting for the business)
- Address: 100 S Congress Ave, 78704-1588, Austin

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Austin Bat Tours that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Live Love Paddle Guided Kayaking Trips (640 m): https://directindex.org/r/livelovepaddle.com
- Austin Tubing Trips (1.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/austintubingtrips.com
- Capital Cruises (1.7 km): https://directindex.org/r/capitalcruises.com
- Xenia Events (2 km): https://directindex.org/r/xeniaevents.com

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (TouristAttraction, Museum, TravelAgency or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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

## 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.

> local business in 100 S Congress Ave, 78704-1588, Austin, Austin tours, attractions and museums.

## Book or order directly

```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Tickets through viator on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Viator works with agents through its partners.** Viator's terms of use (30 November 2025), section 4.2, bar any robot, spider or AI system except as Viator permits in writing; approved Merchant API partners and its Gemini connected app are the sanctioned routes. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.viator.com/support/termsAndConditions. 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.
