Site: http://www.astarbeauty.co.uk/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/astarbeauty.co.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
A Star Beauty Salon is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open A Star Beauty Salon'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 on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: http://www.astarbeauty.co.uk/prices-and-appointments/ (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +441614592129

- Footrespect (1 km): https://directindex.org/r/footrespect.co.uk
- The Beauty Hive Salon & Academy (1.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/thebeautyhivesalon.com
- MD Medical Aesthetics Ltd (1.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/md-medical.co.uk

## 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
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: address. 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 07986842272, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +441614592129. 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.

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **8 prices on the landing page, the middle one £9.00.** In Manchester, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is £39.00.

## Fix kit: What to paste
