Wild Whales Vancouver is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Wild Whales Vancouver'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, through Starboard Suite.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://whalesvancouver.starboardsuite.com/ (through starboard_suite acting for the business)
- Phone: (604) 699-2011

## 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 to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Ordering through an unrecognised third party.** (+5 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps
- **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

## Fix kit: What to paste

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
