# Avesta: Agent-Direct Score D (50.8%)

Site: https://www.avestahair.co.uk/get-app
Report: https://directindex.org/r/avestahair.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.)
Avesta is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Avesta'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 Zenoti.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://avesta.eu.zenoti.com/webstoreNew/services (through zenoti acting for the business)
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps: Mon–Wed 09:00–19:00; Thu–Fri 09:00–20:00; Sat 09:00–18:00; Sun closed
- Open on Saturday
- Open after 19:00 on a weekday

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Avesta that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- KSL Clinic (700 m): https://directindex.org/r/kslclinic.co.uk
- Anna Keczer Hair Education & Coaching (1.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/couturebonds.co.uk

## 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 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
- **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). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

## Can an agent transact?
Measured, not scored (the score stays at spec v1.0).
- UCP profile (/.well-known/ucp, Google and Shopify's Universal Commerce Protocol): no
- ACP discovery document (/.well-known/acp.json, OpenAI and Stripe's Agentic Commerce Protocol): no
- MCP server card (/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json): no
- Ordering vendor that takes agent orders (Square, Toast, or a vendor whose terms allow agents): no
- Vendor terms for agents, Zenoti: Not stated. Zenoti's terms (17 April 2026) bind the businesses that use it, not the people who book: section 4.1(j) bars robots, bots, spiders and scrapers from monitoring or copying the services and section 5.6 allows API integrations only under a written agreement; each business sets its own consumer terms, so an agent booking for a client is not addressed here.
