# Elite Hair Lounge: Agent-Direct Score C (69.2%)

Site: http://elitehairlounge.co.uk/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/elitehairlounge.co.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Elite Hair Lounge is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Elite Hair Lounge. It finds no menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Phorest.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.phorest.com/salon/elitehairlounge1/buy/course (through phorest acting for the business)
- Phone: +44 20 7018 5655

## 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 with services and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+5 points) Missing: address, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** phone
- **Appointments through phorest on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
