## 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 (TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout). 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. 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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **16 prices on the landing page, the middle one $100.** In Charlotte, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $55.00.

## 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
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, opening hours
- **Appointments through vagaro on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Vagaro works with agents through its partners.** Vagaro's user agreement (September 2025), section 3, bars robots, data mining and any software that interacts with the services without prior written consent; Google names Vagaro as an AI Mode agentic booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.vagaro.com/pro/user-agreement. 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.
