Friendly Local Guides, LLC is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Friendly Local Guides, LLC's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Viator, a marketplace.

## Direct links

- Address: 11127 La Maida St Ste 39, 91601, Los Angeles

## 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
- **Tickets only through viator.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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)
- **The footer says © 2020.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site.
- **13 prices on the landing page, the middle one $187.**

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Viator works with agents through its partners.** Viator's terms of use (30 November 2025), section 4.2, bar any robot, spider or AI system except as Viator permits in writing; approved Merchant API partners and its Gemini connected app are the sanctioned routes. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.viator.com/support/termsAndConditions. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
