After the top fixes

With the two fixes above (No structured data for the business; The server turns AI crawlers away at the door), the score would be about 87.7%. That would be 4th of 77 in Galway hairdressers, beauty salons and massage, up from 45th.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. No structured data for the business +15 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. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points

    Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (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. How to fix it

  3. 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.
  • Price list of services is an HTML page Agents can read the items and prices.
  • Appointments through phorest on your own domain There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
  • Phorest works with agents through its partners Phorest's consumer booking terms do not mention bots or automated use; its API is issued on request to a business or its partner developers, and Reserve with Google sends clients to the Phorest booking site. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.phorest.com/termsandconditions-consumer/. 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.
