things to fix

Action test, 2026-10-14: partial, a path exists but an agent would struggle. There is a button or a form, but no complete booking or ordering flow an agent can finish on this page.

Provisional: the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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. 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 it from the homepage. How to fix it

  3. No llms.txt no points, still worth doing

    Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it
