Report: https://directindex.org/r/southwest.com
Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Lax Southwest Gate 1 is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Lax Southwest Gate 1's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.southwest.com/air/booking/?clk=GSUBNAV-AIR-BOOK (on the business's own site)
- Address: Los Angeles
- Prices: 27 prices on the site, the middle one $96.00

- Islands In The Sun (620 m): https://directindex.org/r/travelanswersgroup.com

## What to fix first
- **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. 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 to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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)
- **The footer says © 2022.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Los Angeles, 77% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.
- **27 prices on the landing page, the middle one $96.00.** In Los Angeles, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $65.00.
