Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Salon On Fay is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Salon On Fay's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to GetYourGuide, a marketplace.

## What to fix first
- **Appointments only through getyourguide.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. 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 that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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
- **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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Salon On Fay",
  "url": "http://www.lajollacentral.com",
  "telephone": "+18585511052",
  "address": "7744 Fay Ave #103, 92037, San Diego",

- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **GetYourGuide works with agents through its partners.** GetYourGuide's consumer terms page answered 403 on 2026-10-15; its Partner API wiki says to request an API key from a partner manager, with booking only at the booking tier, and a ChatGPT app is listed. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://github.com/getyourguide/partner-api-spec/wiki. 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.
