## How we measure it

We look for a real form with check-in/check-out dates, or a link to booking, on the homepage; found passes. A booking engine that only shows up in scripts is a partial pass; neither fails.

### What the result page says

These are the sentences in the test result; “…” is replaced by what we found on your site.

- Passed The homepage has a real booking form with check-in and check-out dates; it submits to …….
- Passed The homepage links to booking; the link goes to …….
- Partial A booking engine… is loaded by script, but there’s no plain link or form; agents that don’t run JavaScript can’t find the way in.
- Failed No booking link or booking form was found on the homepage.

## How to fix it

**Target:** A plain <a href> to the booking engine (with dates as URL parameters if possible) or a GET form with check-in/check-out fields.

### Example code

`<form action="https://example.com/booking" method="get">
<label>Check-in <input type="date" name="checkin"></label>
<label>Check-out <input type="date" name="checkout"></label>
<button type="submit">Check availability</button>
</form>`
Example values (example.com, product name, price) are placeholders; replace them with your own.

### How to verify it yourself

With JavaScript disabled, the homepage should still show a “Book” link or a date form that leads to availability.

### Fix it with an AI coding agent

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor or another coding agent working on your store’s code. Review the change before you deploy it.

`You are working on my online store. Specoria’s agent readiness test checks the item below. Fix it so AI shopping agents can read the store and act on it.

## 1. Booking entry point reachable (booking_entry)
Target: A plain <a href> to the booking engine (with dates as URL parameters if possible) or a GET form with check-in/check-out fields.
Example fix (adapt it to this codebase and platform; example values are placeholders):
```
<form action="https://example.com/booking" method="get">
<label>Check-in <input type="date" name="checkin"></label>
<label>Check-out <input type="date" name="checkout"></label>
<button type="submit">Check availability</button>
</form>
```

## Rules
- First look through the codebase and tell me which files or templates you will change, before editing anything.
- Change only what these checks need, and keep the visible page and the structured data saying the same thing.
- Never invent prices, stock, shipping or return terms, reviews or product identifiers (GTIN): take them from the store’s real data or ask me.
- Don’t block or slow down real visitors and don’t add tracking.
- After deploying, run the free test again at https://specoria.com/ to verify the fix.`
