After the top fixes
With the three fixes above (The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included; No online booking link on the website; Structured data is incomplete), the score would be about 83.8%. That would be 108th of 6,057 in London hairdressers and beauty salons, up from 5146th.
Peers are the businesses in the same index that have a reachable site, using the latest scan of each. The rank comes from the index's current ranking.
What to fix first
- The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included +17.5 points
A plain fetch was refused (http_403). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. How to fix it
- No online booking link on the website +15 points
There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add an online appointment page on your own domain. How to fix it
- Structured data is incomplete +5 points
Missing: telephone, opening hours. How to fix it
- robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User no points, but worth doing
These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. How to fix it
