# Merlin Spa: Agent-Direct Score D (50.8%)

Site: https://merlinspa.gr/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/merlinspa.gr
Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Merlin Spa is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Merlin Spa'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
- Address: Μέρλιν 8 Αθήνα
- Prices: 36 prices on the site, the middle one €25.00

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Merlin Spa that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Korossis Style (100 m): https://directindex.org/r/korossis.com

## What to fix first
- **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
- **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
- **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

## 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 Athens, 60% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later.
- **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is. In Athens, 21% of comparable sites declare one.
- **36 prices on the landing page, the middle one €25.00.** In Athens, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is €24.50.

## 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.
