The website's grade

Some AI assistants are turned away by Crystal Ballroom's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through etix.com.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. Tickets through an unrecognised third party +9 points

    Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. How to fix it

  2. robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, OAI-SearchBot, Claude-User, Perplexity-User +8.8 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

  3. Structured data is incomplete +7 points

    Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

  4. 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. How to fix it

  5. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +3.4 points

    Requests as ClaudeBot (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. How to fix it

  6. 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
