# The Orchid Retreat: Agent-Direct Score F (35.4%)

Site: https://orchidretreat.co.uk
Report: https://directindex.org/r/orchidretreat.co.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
The Orchid Retreat is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants cannot open the website of The Orchid Retreat, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://orchidretreat.co.uk/treatments/ (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +44 20 8441 3557

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (http_403); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Appointments on your own site.** Agents can book an appointment without a marketplace in the loop.
