After the top fixes
With the three fixes above (The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included; No structured data for the business; Appointments only through fresha), the score would be about 95.4%, which would be first of 1,089 in Montreal hairdressers and beauty salons.
Peers are the businesses in the same index that have a reachable site, using the latest scan of each. The rank comes from the index's current ranking.
What to fix first
- The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included +25 points
A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. How to fix it
- 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. How to fix it
- Appointments only through fresha +12 points
Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. How to fix it About this vendor

Already right
- robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- Price list of services is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
- Fresha works with agents through its partners Fresha's terms of use (August 2026) bar automated programs, bots and scraping; sanctioned assistant integrations exist (ChatGPT and Claude through Fresha's MCP server, Gemini, Alexa), and clients complete the booking on Fresha. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://terms.fresha.com/terms-use. 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.
