# The West End Museum: Agent-Direct Score C (58.5%) Site: https://thewestendmuseum.org/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/thewestendmuseum.org 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 West End Museum is partly visible to agents. ## Direct links - Phone: +1 617 723 2125 ## What to fix first - **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 - **Eventbrite's terms do not allow agents; a direct form on your own site would.** (+12 points) Eventbrite's terms of service (20 August 2025), section 13.1: users agree not to scrape, crawl or employ any automated means to extract data from the sites; the separate API terms cover developer apps, not agent booking. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/251210/eventbrite-terms-of-service/. An agent that books or orders there acts against the vendor's terms; a form or booking page on your own domain has no such limit. 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 - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+5 points) Missing: address, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models.
