## What to fix first
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as ClaudeBot (http_403) 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +1-847-847-5655, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 8478755655. 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Tickets and prices is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Tickets on your own site.** Agents can buy tickets without going through a marketplace.
