# Kida NYC: Agent-Direct Score D (52.3%)

Site: https://kidanyc.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/kidanyc.com
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Kida NYC is hard for agents to use.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=35412490&ref=booking_button (through acuity acting for the business)
- Phone: +1-212-219-0246

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (HairSalon, BeautySalon or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. 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 with services and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
