# Canada Place: Agent-Direct Score F (0%)

Site: https://canadaplace.ca
Report: https://directindex.org/r/canadaplace.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Canada Place is largely invisible to agents.

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+17.5 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No way to buy tickets online.** (+15 points) Agents have nothing to act on. Add a ticket or booking page on your own domain. 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 it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User.** (no points, still worth doing) 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

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "TouristAttraction",
  "name": "Canada Place",
  "url": "https://canadaplace.ca",
  "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "Canada Place 999",
    "postalCode": "V6C 3C1",
    "addressLocality": "Vancouver"
  },
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 49.2885373,
    "longitude": -123.1111425
  }
}
</script>
```

robots.txt. Add these lines to /robots.txt and delete any Disallow rule that names these crawlers.

```
# Let AI assistants read the site: they send people to you; a marketplace keeps them.
