What to fix first

1. 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. How to fix it

2. No ticket link on the website +15 points

   There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add a ticket or booking page on your own domain. How to fix it

3. 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. How to fix it

4. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points

   Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it

5. robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended +3.7 points

   These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. How to fix it

6. 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. How to fix it
