Museum of Illusions is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://book.moimanchester.com/booknow/en/product/1407635 (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +44 0161 560 2800

## What to fix first
- **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

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
