# Gold & Braid: Agent-Direct Score B (72.3%)

Site: http://www.goldandbraidsalon.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/abigailresch.com
Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Gold & Braid is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Gold & Braid'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 Meevo.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://na1.meevo.com/CustomerPortal/onlinebooking/booking/guestinfo?tenantId=200408&locationId=201297 (through meevo acting for the business)
- Phone: (773) 384-7998
- Address: 1945 N Damen Ave, 60647, Chicago

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Gold & Braid that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Removery (160 m): https://directindex.org/r/removery.com

## What to fix first
- **No price list of services found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer and what does it cost?' from marketplaces and directories instead. Add a page that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 2813058377, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (773) 384-7998. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone
- **Appointments through meevo on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
