Findings

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 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

  3. 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

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
  • AI crawlers get the page GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
  • Tickets through getyourguide on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
  • GetYourGuide works with agents through its partners GetYourGuide's consumer terms page answered 403 on 2026-10-15; its Partner API wiki says to request an API key from a partner manager, with booking only at the booking tier, and a ChatGPT app is listed. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://github.com/getyourguide/partner-api-spec/wiki. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
