Some AI assistants are turned away by DC Ghosts'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.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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. How to fix it

  2. 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

  3. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points

    Requests as GPTBot (challenge:attention required), ClaudeBot (challenge:attention required) 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

  4. Structured data is incomplete +6 points

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

  5. 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

  6. The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data

    The site shows 2028718909, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (202) 810-0709. 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.
