# Pixie: Agent-Direct Score D (49.2%) Site: https://pixiehairstudio.ie/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/pixiehairstudio.ie Scanned: 2026-11-14 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Pixie is hard for agents to use. Some AI assistants are turned away by Pixie's website. It can read what Pixie offers. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Phorest. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://phorest.com/book/salons/pixie (through phorest acting for the business) - Menu: https://pixiehairstudio.ie/#pricing - Phone: +353 91 530 727 - Address: Merchants Road H91 W63V Galway - Step-free access (OpenStreetMap) - Prices: 26 prices on the site, the middle one €52.50 ## Nearby, also direct Places near Pixie that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Fat Tony's Barber Shop (100 m): https://directindex.org/r/fattonyslifestyle.com - Angel Nails (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/connemarahealing.com - Thérapie Clinic (150 m): https://directindex.org/r/therapieclinic.com - Crew (180 m): https://directindex.org/r/crewhaus.ca ## What to fix first - **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **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. 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) - **26 prices on the landing page, the middle one €52.50.** ## 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. ``` # Pixie > hair salon in Merchants Road H91 W63V Galway, Galway hairdressers, beauty salons and massage.
