After the top fixes
With the three fixes above (No price list of services found; Structured data is incomplete; Almost no text without JavaScript), the score would be about 87.7%. That would be 21st of 464 in Kansas City hairdressers, beauty salons and massage, up from 131st.
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 that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. How to fix it
- Structured data is incomplete +3 points
Missing: opening hours. How to fix 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. How to fix it
- 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. How to fix it
- The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data
The site shows 4805805852, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +18162954734. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.vagaro.com/pro/user-agreement. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
