Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
City Hair is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by City Hair's website. What City Hair offers is on another site. It finds a way to book or order directly, through 78thdivision.org.

## Direct links
- Address: East 1st Street 342 90012 Los Angeles
- Prices: 19 prices on the site, the middle one $3.40

## Nearby, also direct
Places near City Hair that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Oubeauty Medical Spa (180 m): https://directindex.org/r/oubeauty.com
- Harmony Nail & Eyelash Salon (250 m): https://directindex.org/r/harmonynailsalon.com
- Salon Dolly (1.9 km): https://directindex.org/r/salondollyla.com

## What to fix first
- **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Appointments through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Price list of services is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to cupaquote.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_503) 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
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot.** (+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
- **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)
- **19 prices on the landing page, the middle one $3.40.** 

## 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.
