Cooper–Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum is partly visible to agents.

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No menu or price list found.** Agents answer 'what do they offer' from marketplaces instead. Add a menu or price list page and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** 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

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without a marketplace in the loop.
