The website's grade

Some AI assistants are turned away by Parlour 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.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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. 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 that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. How to fix it

  3. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points

    Requests as ClaudeBot (http_429), PerplexityBot (http_429) 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. How to fix it

  4. No working HTTPS +3 points

    The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.

  5. 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. How to fix it

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
  • 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.
