Sealink Departure Lounge Cafe is hard for agents to use.
AI assistants can't open Sealink Departure Lounge Cafe's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.sealink.com.au/north-stradbroke-island/bookings/ferry (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +61734885300

## What to fix first
- Prices: 3 prices on the site, the middle one A$64.00

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **3 prices on the landing page, the middle one A$64.00.** In Brisbane, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is A$20.13.

- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No menu or price list found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer?' from marketplaces instead. Add a page with the menu or price list and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+4 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## Fix kit: What to paste
