Report: https://directindex.org/r/peoplesstudio.shop
Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The People's Studio is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants can't open The People's Studio's website, so they go by what other sites say about it.

## What to fix first
- **The site turns away every visitor that isn't a browser, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge). Only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent gets turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the page as the browser rendered it. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Appointments only through booksy.** (+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
- **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 that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## 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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "The People's Studio",
  "url": "http://Peoplesstudio.co/",
  "telephone": "+18186970343",
  "address": "16842 Saticoy St, 91406, Los Angeles",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 34.20822452,
    "longitude": -118.50046512
  }
}
</script>
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Booksy works with agents through its partners.** Booksy's US customer terms (June 2026), section 4.2.6, bar automated tools such as bots, crawlers or scrapers collecting data from the app; the sanctioned agent path is Google AI Mode, which books into the provider's calendar. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://booksy.com/en-us/p/terms. 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.
