Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
CruisEscapes is partly visible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by CruisEscapes'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: 012942200
- Address: Suite 30, The Hyde Building, The Park, D18 EY94, Dublin
- WhatsApp: a link on the site

## Nearby, also direct
Places near CruisEscapes that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Luxury Wedding Cars (2.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/theweddingcarhirepeople.com
- Sandyford Luas Stop (3.3 km): https://directindex.org/r/luas.ie

## What to fix first
- **No ticket link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. 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.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403) 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 012941000, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 012942200. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## Fix kit: What to paste

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
