In Kansas City Magazine is hard for agents to use.

## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **8 prices on the landing page, the middle one $100.** In Kansas City, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $11.99.

## 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.

- **Menu or price list is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booking on your own site.** Agents can book without going through a marketplace.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without going through a marketplace.
