# The Things Lab: Agent-Direct Score D (44.6%) Site: http://www.thethingslab.org/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/thethingslab.org Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.) The Things Lab is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open the website of The Things Lab. It finds no menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Eventbrite, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Phone: +17863096525 ## What to fix first - WhatsApp: a link on the site - **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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 - **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 ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # The Things Lab > local business in 2456 W 8th Ct, 33010, Hialeah, Miami tours, attractions and museums.
