## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (TimeoutError: The operation was aborted due to timeout). 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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **The footer says © 2018.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Baltimore, 63% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.
- **21 prices on the landing page, the middle one $65.00.** In Baltimore, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $60.00.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Price list of services with prices on the page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Appointments on your own site.** Agents can book an appointment without going through a marketplace.
