## What to fix first
- **No booking or ordering 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 booking or ordering page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (challenge:attention required), PerplexityBot (challenge:attention required) 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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)
- **79 prices on the landing page, the middle one $10.00.** In New York, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $14.00.

## Fix kit: What to paste

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