# The Govan Stones: Agent-Direct Score F (38%)

Site: https://thegovanstones.org.uk/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/thegovanstones.org.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
The Govan Stones is largely invisible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by the website of The Govan Stones. It finds no menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Eventbrite, a marketplace.

## 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Tickets only through eventbrite.** (+12 points) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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.** (+3.3 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_429) 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
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Museum",
  "name": "The Govan Stones",
  "url": "https://thegovanstones.org.uk/",
  "email": "info@thegovanstones.org.uk",
  "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "Govan Road 866",
    "addressLocality": "Glasgow"
  },
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 55.864547,
    "longitude": -4.3129711
  },
  "openingHours": "Apr-Oct 11:00-16:00"
}
</script>
