# Joi Salon: Agent-Direct Score C (60.5%) Site: http://www.joisalon.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/joisalon.com 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.) Joi Salon is partly visible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Joi Salon's website. What Joi Salon offers is on another site. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Booker. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://go.booker.com/#/location/JoiSalonInc/service-menu (through booker acting for the business) - Phone: (617) 723-6330 - WhatsApp: a link on the site ## Nearby, also direct Places near Joi Salon that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Jill Miller Esthetics (60 m): https://directindex.org/r/jillmilleresthetics.com - Sweet Nothing Spa (60 m): https://directindex.org/r/sweetnothingspa.com - Natural Glow (80 m): https://directindex.org/r/naturalglowboston.com - Philip's Salon (270 m): https://directindex.org/r/philipssalon.com - exhale Spa Battery Wharf (320 m): https://directindex.org/r/exhalespa.com ## What to fix first - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (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 - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **Price list of services is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to booker.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **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. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Joi Salon > hair salon in Boston hairdressers and beauty salons.
