## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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.** (+13 points) Only a phone number or WhatsApp. Agents cannot act on those yet. 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 it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_429) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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

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