Bye Bye Parabens - Curly Hair Products is mostly ready for agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Bye Bye Parabens - Curly Hair Products'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 on the site.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://byebyeparabens.com/order-tracking/ (on the business's own site)
- Phone: 7043120875

- Shear Excellence (110 m): https://directindex.org/r/shearexcellence.com
- Sean Rocco Salon (280 m): https://directindex.org/r/seanroccosalon.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
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as 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
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2012.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Charlotte, 67% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

## Fix kit: What to paste
