# Avant-Propos: Agent-Direct Score D (46.2%) Site: https://www.avant-propos.ch/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/avant-propos.ch Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Avant-Propos is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open Avant-Propos's website. It can read what Avant-Propos offers. It can't find a link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Menu: https://avant-propos.ch/EN-TETE-EN-menu - Address: Rue Saint-Martin 13 - Hours, from OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps: Mon–Fri 09:00–18:00; Sat–Sun closed ## Nearby, also direct Places near Avant-Propos that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Céline Onglerie & Esthétique (20 m): https://directindex.org/r/celineonglerie.ch - Forever Institut Lausanne (40 m): https://directindex.org/r/forever-beauty.com ## What to fix first - **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 online booking link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add an online appointment page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript - **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 ## Fix kit: What to paste Structured data (JSON-LD).
