Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Elegance Beauty Salon is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Elegance Beauty Salon's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Phorest.

Places near Elegance Beauty Salon that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- The White Room Beauty Lounge (280 m): https://directindex.org/r/whiteroombl.com
- Rush Hairdressers (570 m): https://directindex.org/r/rush.co.uk

## What to fix first
- **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.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone
- **Appointments through phorest on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Phorest works with agents through its partners.** Phorest's consumer booking terms do not mention bots or automated use; its API is issued on request to a business or its partner developers, and Reserve with Google sends clients to the Phorest booking site. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.phorest.com/termsandconditions-consumer/. 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.
