# Hair by Maryam: Agent-Direct Score D (53.8%)

Report: https://directindex.org/r/hairbymaryamaustin.com
Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Hair by Maryam is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Hair by Maryam'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: http://hairbymaryamaustin.com/?page_id=18 (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +15125776861
- Address: 12233 Ranch Rd 620 N Suit106 Rm6, Austin 78750

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Hair by Maryam that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Anastazia Skin Care (0 m): https://directindex.org/r/anastaziaskincare.com
- Sugaring NYC Organic Waxing - Cedar Park (400 m): https://directindex.org/r/sugaringnyc.com

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2015.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Austin, 73% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">

  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",

  "url": "http://www.hairbymaryamaustin.com/",
