Report: https://directindex.org/r/headlinessalon.com
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Headlines Salon is partly visible to agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.headlinessalon.com/services (on the business's own site)

## 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; 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 with services and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

- **Appointments on your own site.** Agents can book an appointment without a marketplace in the loop.

## Since the scan of 2026-10-14 (F then)
