## 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
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User.** (+6.3 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.4 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_429) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing

## Fix kit: What to paste

robots.txt. Add these lines to /robots.txt and delete any Disallow rule that names these crawlers.

```
# Let AI assistants read the site: they send people to you; a marketplace keeps them.
# Remove any Disallow lines for these names elsewhere in this file.

## Already right
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Appointments through vagaro on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Vagaro lets agents act only through its partners.** Vagaro's user agreement (September 2025), section 3, bars robots, data mining and any software that interacts with the services without prior written consent; Google names Vagaro as an AI Mode agentic booking partner. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.vagaro.com/pro/user-agreement. An assistant that is not a partner cannot finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
