things to fix

Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.

Since the scan of 2026-10-14: no change in the findings.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it

  2. 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. How to fix it

  3. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +3.3 points

    Live fetches as GPTBot (http_429) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it

  4. No llms.txt no points, still worth doing

    Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it
