# A La Moda Hair Salon: Agent-Direct Score F (35.4%)

Site: http://ca.motivescosmetics.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/marketcanada.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
A La Moda Hair Salon is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants can't open A La Moda Hair Salon's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.marketcanada.ca/products/motives-vitamin-e-lip-treatment (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://www.marketcanada.ca/pages/orders (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +16479556623

## What to fix first
- Prices: 38 prices on the site, the middle one CA$30.51
- Languages: English, Chinese

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **38 prices on the landing page, the middle one CA$30.51.** In Toronto, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is CA$70.00.

- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+21.3 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended.** (no points, but worth doing) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents

## 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.
