Report: https://directindex.org/r/machineaecrire.ch
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Musée de la Machine à Écrire is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Musée de la Machine à Écrire'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://machineaecrire.ch/pratique/#billets (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +41 79 229 13 03
- Address: Passage des Terreaux 18bis 1003 Lausanne
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps: Mon 14:00–18:00; Tue closed; Wed 11:00–18:00; Thu–Fri 14:00–18:00; Sat 11:00–18:00; Sun 11:00–17:00

## 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
- **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)
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is.

## 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.
