# House of Colour Salon: Agent-Direct Score D (52.3%) Site: http://www.houseofcoloursalon.us/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/houseofcoloursalon.us 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.) House of Colour Salon is hard for agents to use. Some AI assistants are turned away by House of Colour 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, through Meevo. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://login.meevo.com/houseofcolour/ob?locationId=106774 (through meevo acting for the business) - Phone: +18573172400 - Address: 118 Milk St, 02109, Boston ## Nearby, also direct Places near House of Colour Salon that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Kdr Medspa + Wellness (20 m): https://directindex.org/r/kathrynrussoaesthetics.com - The Boston Barber Exchange (50 m): https://directindex.org/r/thebostonbarberexchange.com - The Hair Loss Doctors (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/hairlossdoctors.com - Marvelous Barber Lounge (130 m): https://directindex.org/r/marvelouscuts.com - Boston Medical Aesthetics (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/bostonmedicalaesthetics.net ## What to fix first - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing - **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 - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **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 ## 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 ``` llms.txt.
