Already right

  • AI crawlers get the page GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
  • Structured data found (LocalBusiness) address, opening hours
  • Price list of services is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • Appointments through vagaro on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
  • Vagaro works with agents through its partners Vagaro's user agreement (September 2025), section 3, bars robots, data mining and any software that interacts with the services without prior written consent; Google names Vagaro as an AI Mode agentic booking partner. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.vagaro.com/pro/user-agreement. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
