Site: https://www.influencesalon.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/influencesalon.com
Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Influence the Salon is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Influence the 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 Phorest.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.phorest.com/salon/influencesalon (through phorest acting for the business)
- Phone: +1 403-270-4247

## 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+4 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## 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.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address
- **Appointments through phorest on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Phorest works with agents through its partners.** Phorest's consumer booking terms do not mention bots or automated use; its API is issued on request to a business or its partner developers, and Reserve with Google sends clients to the Phorest booking site. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.phorest.com/termsandconditions-consumer/. 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.
