# Product Requirements Document (PRD)
## Activity Links Enhancement

### Project: jill-website
### Version: 1.0
### Date: 2024

---

## 1. Introduction/Overview

This feature enhancement aims to transform the jill-website activities from static listings into comprehensive, actionable resources by adding real external links to restaurants, services, maps, phone numbers, websites, and review platforms. Currently, activities exist without any external links, limiting user engagement and practical utility. This update will integrate with Google services to provide users with complete business information and seamless access to external resources.

---

## 2. Goals

• Add comprehensive external links to all activity listings (restaurants, services, attractions)
• Integrate Google Maps, Google Reviews, and Google My Business data
• Provide users with direct access to phone numbers, websites, and location information
• Implement automated link validation to ensure ongoing accuracy
• Display appropriate fallback messaging when business information is unavailable
• Achieve 100% coverage of activities with at least phone and location links

• How should we handle businesses that have permanently closed?
• What's the fallback strategy if Google API quotas are exceeded?
• Should we cache business information, and if so, for how long?
• Do we need admin interface for manual link override/correction?
• Should we track which external links are most frequently used?
• How should we handle businesses with multiple locations?
• What level of link validation detail should be exposed to administrators?
