Report: https://directindex.org/r/marlintours.com
Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Marlin Tours is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Marlin Tours. It finds no menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through FareHarbor.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/marlintours/?full-items=yes&#038;flow=1341312 (through fareharbor acting for the business)
- Phone: +351913919810

## What to fix first
- Languages: English, Portuguese
- WhatsApp: a link on the site

- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

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