# H&L Salon: Agent-Direct Score B (73.8%)

Site: http://www.hlsalon.com.au/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/hlsalon.com.au
Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
H&L Salon is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open H&L Salon'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.hlsalon.com.au/collections/treatments (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://www.hlsalon.com.au/pages/shipping-delivery (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +61295283125

## What to fix first
- Prices: 32 prices on the site, the middle one A$84.48

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **32 prices on the landing page, the middle one A$84.48.** In Sydney, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is A$90.00.

- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. 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

## 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.
