How to fix it
Action protocol- Make your business legible to Claude
These models never mention you — usually a sign there is too little crawlable, unambiguous information about you online. Publish a clear About page stating exactly what you do ("surf school") and where, add Organization/LocalBusiness structured data (schema.org) to your homepage, and keep your name, category and location consistent across the web.
