# The Museum at FIT: Agent-Direct Score B (72.3%)

Site: https://www.fitnyc.edu/museum.asp
Report: https://directindex.org/r/fitnyc.edu
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
The Museum at FIT is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.fitnyc.edu/museum/research/academic-appointments.php (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://www.fitnyc.edu/academics/courses-and-registration/registrar/transcripts.php (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.fitnyc.edu/

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
