Melt Massage & Bodywork is partly visible to agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://phorest.com/book/salons/meltmassagebodywork (through phorest acting for the business)
- Phone: +1-646-450-6358

## What to fix first
- **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 with services and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **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

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Appointments through phorest on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest stays yours.
- **Phorest works with agents through its partners.** Phorest's consumer booking terms do not mention bots or automated use; its API is issued on request to a business or its partner developers, and Reserve with Google sends clients to the Phorest booking site. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.phorest.com/termsandconditions-consumer/. An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
