# QALI Hair Extension Studio & Salon: Agent-Direct Score F (16.9%)

Site: https://qali.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/qali.com
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
QALI Hair Extension Studio & Salon is largely invisible to agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://phorest.com/book/salons//qalihairextensionstudio (through phorest acting for the business)
- Phone: +1-604-423-4088

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. 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 with services and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Appointments through phorest on your own domain.** No marketplace commission, and the guest 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. Read 2026-10-15: https://www.phorest.com/termsandconditions-consumer/. An assistant that is not a partner may not finish the step there; a direct path on your own domain works for all of them.

## Since the scan of 2026-10-14 (D then)
