Report: https://directindex.org/r/flaghouse.org
Scanned: 2026-11-13 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Flag House and Star-Spangled Banner Museum is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Flag House and Star-Spangled Banner Museum'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 Square.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://squareup.com/store/star-spangled-banner-flag-house (through square acting for the business)
- Address: 844 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, MD 21202
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps: Mon closed; Tue–Fri 10:00–15:00; Sat 10:00–16:00; Sun closed

## 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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
