## Nearby, also direct
Places near EDIT Hair Club that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Permanent Beauty Clinic (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/permanentbeauty.ie
- The Tanning Shop (240 m): https://directindex.org/r/thetanningshop.co.uk
- Origin Hair Design (240 m): https://directindex.org/r/originhairdesign.ie

## 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.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (challenge:access denied), ClaudeBot (challenge:access denied) 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)
- **43 prices on the landing page, the middle one €65.00.**
