# Estee Lauder: Agent-Direct Score C (61.5%)

Site: https://www.esteelauder.com.au/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/esteelauder.com.au
Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Estee Lauder is partly visible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Estee Lauder'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 on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.esteelauder.com.au/products/26389/product-catalog/skin-care/toner-treatment-lotion (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://www.esteelauder.com.au/shared/admin/protected/phone_order/reset.tmpl (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +61732050111

## What to fix first
- Prices: 27 prices on the site, the middle one A$100
- Languages: Arabic, Czech, German, Greek, English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Thai, Turkish, Chinese

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **27 prices on the landing page, the middle one A$100.** In Brisbane, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is A$82.00.

- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Requests as GPTBot (challenge:access denied), ClaudeBot (challenge:access denied), PerplexityBot (challenge:access denied) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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.** (+5 points) Missing: address, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 1800613783, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +61732050111. 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.
