Report: https://directindex.org/r/bexandcosalon.com
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
bez + Co. Salon is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.bexandcosalon.com/clients/ (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://alauraluxehair.square.site/ (through square acting for the business)
- Phone: 512.363.8101

## What to fix first
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Price list of services lives on another site.** (+5 points) The link points to booker.com, so the credit and the traffic go there. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Appointments on your own site.** Agents can book an appointment without a marketplace in the loop.
- **Ordering through square on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
