Site: http://emersonsalon.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/emersonsalon.com
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.)
Emerson Salon is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Emerson 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 Square.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://darcyhairdesign.square.site/ (through square acting for the business)
- Phone: 2063237437
- Address: 909E E Pike St, 98122, Seattle

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Emerson Salon that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.

- Cake (250 m): https://directindex.org/r/cakeskincare.com
- Yvey (260 m): https://directindex.org/r/yvey.com
- Element MedSpa (310 m): https://directindex.org/r/elementmedicalspa.com

## 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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 2062806854, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 2063237437. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## 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.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone
- **Ordering through square on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
