## 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 (http_403). 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
- **No online booking link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add an online appointment page. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows (540) 710-0002, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +12159092291. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Price list of services is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
