NYC Panache Salon is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open NYC Panache Salon's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Vagaro.

- Dr. V.A. IV Hydration Therapy (270 m): https://directindex.org/r/ivtherapyny.com

## What to fix first
- **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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **19 prices on the landing page, the middle one $45.00.** In New York, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $75.00.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone, opening hours
- **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.
