Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Knox Travel is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Knox Travel'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.

## What to fix first

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2017.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Melbourne, 73% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +61488077395, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +61398870444. 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.

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Knox Travel",
  "url": "http://www.knoxtravel.com.au/",
  "telephone": "+61398870444",
  "address": "239A Stud Rd, 3152, Melbourne",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": -37.860529,
    "longitude": 145.240179
  }
}
</script>
```

## About

- Website: http://www.knoxtravel.com.au/
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## 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.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **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.
