After the top fixes

With the three fixes above (Appointments through an unrecognised third party; No price list of services found; Structured data is incomplete), the score would be about 95.4%, which would be first of 665 in Boston hairdressers and beauty salons.

Peers are the businesses in the same index that have a reachable site, using the latest scan of each. The rank comes from the index's current ranking.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. Appointments through an unrecognised third party +9 points

    Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. How to fix it

  2. 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. How to fix it

  3. Structured data is incomplete +3 points

    Missing: opening hours. How to fix it

  4. The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data

    The site shows 610-369-1600, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +16172969909. 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.
