Site: http://ag-hairdesign.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/ag-hairdesign.com
Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
AG Hair Design is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants can't open AG Hair Design's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (challenge:access denied). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (HairSalon, BeautySalon or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2021.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Chicago, 65% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

## 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.
- **Appointments through vagaro on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Vagaro works with agents through its partners.** Vagaro's user agreement (September 2025), section 3, bars robots, data mining and any software that interacts with the services without prior written consent; Google names Vagaro as an AI Mode agentic booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.vagaro.com/pro/user-agreement. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.

## Since the scan of 2026-10-23 (F then)
- Fixed: The server turned AI crawlers away at the door; No llms.txt
