Scanned: 2026-11-12 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Blue Lace Hair Studio is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Blue Lace Hair Studio'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 Vagaro.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.vagaro.com/bluelacehairstudio (through vagaro acting for the business)
- Phone: +15192423555
- Address: 1657B Main St E, Hamilton L8H 1C7
- WhatsApp: a link on the site

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Blue Lace Hair Studio that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Silk Lash Lounge (0 m): https://directindex.org/r/silklashlounge.com
- Andi's Barbershop (330 m): https://directindex.org/r/andisbarbershop.com
- Parkdale Massage Therapy and Wellness (630 m): https://directindex.org/r/parkdalemassage.com

## What to fix first
- **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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+5 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address
- **Appointments through vagaro on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Vagaro works with agents through its partners.** Vagaro's user agreement (September 2025), section 3, bars robots, data mining and any software that interacts with the services without prior written consent; Google names Vagaro as an AI Mode agentic booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.vagaro.com/pro/user-agreement. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
