After the top fixes

Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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. How to fix it

  2. No ticket link on the website +15 points

    There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. 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 on your own domain. How to fix it

  3. robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended +3.7 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. How to fix it

  4. 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. How to fix it
