Ekos Salon is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Ekos Salon's website. It can read what Ekos Salon offers. To book or order, it is sent to Booksy, a marketplace.

## What to fix first
- **Appointments only through booksy.** (+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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2018.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Tampa, 67% 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Ekos Salon",
  "url": "https://ekossalon.com",
  "telephone": "18136952531",
  "address": "401 E Oak Ave, Tampa 33602-2712",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 27.961044,
    "longitude": -82.456344
  }
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, opening hours
- **Price list of services is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Booksy works with agents through its partners.** Booksy's US customer terms (June 2026), section 4.2.6, bar automated tools such as bots, crawlers or scrapers collecting data from the app; the sanctioned agent path is Google AI Mode, which books into the provider's calendar. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://booksy.com/en-us/p/terms. 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.
