# Markthalle: Agent-Direct Score D (47.7%)

Site: https://www.markthalle-stuttgart.de/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/markthalle-stuttgart.de
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Markthalle is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open the website of Markthalle. It finds no menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through looss-kulinarisches.de.

## 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Tickets through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps you as the merchant of record. 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 it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
