Hotel Narrowboats is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Hotel Narrowboats'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.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.hotel-narrowboats.co.uk/booking-prices (on the business's own site)

- Cheap Umrah Packages (2.5 km): https://directindex.org/r/cheapumrah-packages.co.uk

## What to fix first
- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+5 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.
