Bonafide Beauty is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Bonafide Beauty's website. It can read what Bonafide Beauty offers. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## What to fix first

- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, Google-Extended.** (+2.5 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents

## 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

- **Price list of services is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Appointments on your own site.** Agents can book an appointment without going through a marketplace.
- **Ordering through square on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
