# Rare Bird Beauties Studio: Agent-Direct Score F (35.4%)

Site: https://www.rarebirdbeauties.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/rarebirdbeauties.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.)
Rare Bird Beauties Studio is largely invisible to agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://rarebirdbeauties.com/collections/balmain-balmain-masks-treatments (on the business's own site)

## 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
- **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 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.
- **Structured data present (Organization).** but without address, phone or hours
- **Appointments on your own site.** Agents can book an appointment without a marketplace in the loop.

## Since the scan of 2026-10-14 (D then)
- Fixed: No booking or ordering path at all
- New: The site turned every visitor without a browser away
