# Outline Hair: Agent-Direct Score C (58%) Site: http://www.outlinehair.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/outlinehair.com Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Outline Hair is partly visible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Outline Hair'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 on the site. ## Direct links - Book directly: http://book.outlinehair.com/ (on the business's own site) - Phone: 0131 220 0789 - Address: Candlemaker Row 27 Edinburgh ## Nearby, also direct Places near Outline Hair that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Jill McLaggan Massage (190 m): https://directindex.org/r/jillmclaggan.com - Ruan Mai Thai Massage Therapy (320 m): https://directindex.org/r/ruanmai.co.uk - Edinburgh Beauty Quarter (400 m): https://directindex.org/r/edinburghbeautyquarter.co.uk - Harmony Thai Massage (500 m): https://directindex.org/r/harmonythai.co.uk ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (HairSalon, BeautySalon or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. 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 that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as 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 - **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 ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **The footer says © 2021.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Edinburgh, 70% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later. ## 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. ``` # Outline Hair > hair salon in Candlemaker Row 27 Edinburgh, Edinburgh hairdressers and beauty salons.
