Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Basilique Notre-Dame is partly visible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of Basilique Notre-Dame. What Basilique Notre-Dame offers is on another site. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://groupes.basiliquenotredame.ca/ (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +1 514-842-2925

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Tickets and prices lives on another site.** (+5 points) The link points to montreal.ca, so the credit and the traffic go there. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, Google-Extended.** (+2.5 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
