The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Boston Ghosts: Ghost Tours & Haunted Pub Crawls is largely invisible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Boston Ghosts: Ghost Tours & Haunted Pub Crawls's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Phone: 17815905714 - Address: 265 Franklin St Ste 1702, 02110-3144, Boston - Prices: 10 prices on the site, the middle one $26.00 ## Nearby, also direct Places near Boston Ghosts: Ghost Tours & Haunted Pub Crawls that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Iace Travel (210 m): https://directindex.org/r/iace-usa.com - The Revolutionary Story Tour (230 m): https://directindex.org/r/therevolutionarystorytour.com - The 1776 Co.

If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a ticket or booking page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **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 - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (challenge:attention required), ClaudeBot (challenge:attention required) 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.

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, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models.
