Report: https://directindex.org/r/societyillustrators.org
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (provisional: the assistant citation check pending)
Society of Illustrators is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book: https://societyillustrators.org/shop/tickets/admission-tickets/ (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +1 212 838 2560

## What to fix first, by points
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing

## Fix kit: what to paste

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Tickets on your own site.** Agents can buy tickets without a marketplace in the loop.
