Appearance Matters is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Appearance Matters'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 bookings.gettimely.com.

## Direct links

- Address: 3 Kerlin Cres, 0618, Auckland

- Allure Beauty Salon (2.3 km): https://directindex.org/r/allurebeauty.co.nz

## What to fix first
- **Appointments through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 02102645751%C2%A0, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +642102645751. 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">

  "name": "Appearance Matters",
  "url": "https://appearancemattersltd.com/",
  "telephone": "+642102645751",
