## What to fix first

- **Appointments only through fresha.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "A Studio",
  "url": "https://www.astudio.co/hair/home",
  "telephone": "+61423622092",
  "address": "155 Little Oxford St, 2010, Sydney",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": -33.88022984,
    "longitude": 151.21584813
  }
}
</script>
```

## 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
- **Price list of services is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Fresha works with agents through its partners.** Fresha's terms of use (August 2026) bar automated programs, bots and scraping; sanctioned assistant integrations exist (ChatGPT and Claude through Fresha's MCP server, Gemini, Alexa), and clients complete the booking on Fresha. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://terms.fresha.com/terms-use. 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.
