Site: http://www.birdboxsalon.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/birdboxsalon.com
Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Bird Box Salon is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Bird Box Salon'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 Square.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://square.site/book/501Y55309S8VZ/bird-box-salon-austin-tx (through square acting for the business)
- Phone: +15126261157
- Address: 7301 Burnet Rd, 78757, Austin
- Prices: 6 prices on the site, the middle one $175

## Nearby, also direct

## 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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2020.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Austin, 73% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.
- **6 prices on the landing page, the middle one $175.** In Austin, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $77.50.

## 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.

## 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.
- **Ordering through square on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
