After the top fixes

With the three fixes above (No structured data for the business; Appointments through an unrecognised third party; No price list of services found), the score would be about 95.4%, which would be first of 908 in Auckland hairdressers and beauty salons.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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. How to fix it

  2. Appointments through an unrecognised third party +9 points

    Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. How to fix it

  3. 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. How to fix it

  4. 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. How to fix it

  5. The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data

    The site shows 0274058686, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +6495758041. 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.
