Roots Hair & Beauty Salon is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Roots Hair & Beauty Salon's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It can't find a link to book or order online.

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Roots Hair & Beauty Salon that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Four One One Salon - Korean Spa (630 m): https://directindex.org/r/fouroneonesalon.com

## What to fix first
- **No online booking link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. 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 on your own domain. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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 that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429) 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

## 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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Roots Hair & Beauty Salon",
  "url": "http://www.rootshair.net/",
  "telephone": "+97444114463",
  "address": "Rawdat Umm Lekhba St, 207036, الدوحة",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 25.34231689,
    "longitude": 51.47303967

}

```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (Organization).** no address, phone or hours in it
