The website's grade
Some AI assistants are turned away by Echo Caves'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 on the site.

Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.
What assistants answer
Each assistant gets three questions about this business: the official website, where to book and where to order. Each cell shows where the answer sent people.
The assistants haven't been asked about this business yet. They're asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about any business as soon as it's claimed. Claim this page to be included.
The assistants were asked 12 everyday questions about Durban tours, attractions and museums and named 49 places. Echo Caves wasn't one of them. See who was named →

After the top fixes
With the two fixes above (The server turns AI crawlers away at the door; No tickets and prices found), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 2nd of 112 in Durban tours, attractions and museums, up from 14th.
What to fix first
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points
Requests as GPTBot (http_429), ClaudeBot (http_429), PerplexityBot (http_429) 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
- 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
- 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
