Rio Salon & Barber is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Rio Salon & Barber's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## What to fix first
- **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 that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +44 1480464449, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +44 1223 243344. 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.

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **18 prices on the landing page, the middle one £16.25.**
