# Bel-O-Sol Tanning: Agent-Direct Score D (49.7%) Site: https://www.ottawatanningsalon.com Report: https://directindex.org/r/ottawatanningsalon.com Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Bel-O-Sol Tanning is hard for agents to use. Some AI assistants are turned away by Bel-O-Sol Tanning's website. What Bel-O-Sol Tanning offers is on another site. To book or order, it is sent to Fresha, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Phone: 6139090012 ## What to fix first - **Appointments only through fresha.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **Price list of services is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to fresha.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. 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 ## 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. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Bel-O-Sol Tanning > beauty salon in Bank Street 1836, Ottawa hairdressers and beauty salons.
