# Chao Nail + Bar: Agent-Direct Score F (34.3%)

Site: http://www.chaonailbar.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/chaonailbar.com
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.)
Chao Nail + Bar is largely invisible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Chao Nail + Bar'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 Zenoti.

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 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
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (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 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
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended.** (+3.7 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
- **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 © 2020.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Nashville, 58% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

## 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.

## Can an agent transact?
Measured, not scored (the score stays at spec v1.0).
- UCP profile (/.well-known/ucp, Google and Shopify's Universal Commerce Protocol): no
- ACP discovery document (/.well-known/acp.json, OpenAI and Stripe's Agentic Commerce Protocol): no
- MCP server card (/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json): no
- Ordering vendor that takes agent orders (Square, Toast, or a vendor whose terms allow agents): no
- Vendor terms for agents, Zenoti: Not stated. Zenoti's terms (17 April 2026) bind the businesses that use it, not the people who book: section 4.1(j) bars robots, bots, spiders and scrapers from monitoring or copying the services and section 5.6 allows API integrations only under a written agreement; each business sets its own consumer terms, so an agent booking for a client is not addressed here.
