# Gentlemen's Salon: Agent-Direct Score F (22%) Site: http://www.northendboston.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/mattconti.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.) Gentlemen's Salon is largely invisible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Gentlemen's Salon's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It can't find a link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Phone: +16175230112 - Address: 79 Commercial St, 02109, Boston ## Nearby, also direct Places near Gentlemen's Salon that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Botox Boston (180 m): https://directindex.org/r/thrivebeautyspa.com - Jill Miller Esthetics (270 m): https://directindex.org/r/jillmilleresthetics.com - Natural Glow (270 m): https://directindex.org/r/naturalglowboston.com - Sweet Nothing Spa (280 m): https://directindex.org/r/sweetnothingspa.com - Neem Medical Spa - Boston (300 m): https://directindex.org/r/neemmedicalspa.com ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (HairSalon, BeautySalon or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No online booking link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add an online appointment page on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **robots.txt blocks GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-User, Perplexity-User.** (+8.7 points) 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 - **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 - **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript - **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 ``` robots.txt. Add these lines to /robots.txt and delete any Disallow rule that names these crawlers. ``` # Let AI assistants read the site: they send people to you; a marketplace keeps them. # Remove any Disallow lines for these names elsewhere in this file.
