# The Guards Museum: Agent-Direct Score C (62.9%)

Site: https://theguardsmuseum.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/theguardsmuseum.com
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
The Guards Museum is partly visible to agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://tickets.theguardsmuseum.com/tickets (on the business's own site)

## What to fix first
- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+5 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.

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