# Saks & Co Hair Salon: Agent-Direct Score C (57.4%)

Site: http://www.Saks.ie/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/saks.ie
Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Saks & Co Hair Salon is partly visible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Saks & Co Hair Salon'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, through Phorest.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.phorest.com/salon/sakshairboutique (through phorest acting for the business)
- Phone: +35318404759
- Address: 54 Main St, K67 K6C2, Swords

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Saks & Co Hair Salon that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Hair's Another Salon (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/hairsanothersalon.ie
- Satori Beauty by Natasha (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/satoribeauty.ie
- Yazoo Hairdressing (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/yazoo.ie

## 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
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (challenge:access denied), ClaudeBot (challenge:access denied) 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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## 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.

- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (Person).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Appointments through phorest on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer 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. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.phorest.com/termsandconditions-consumer/. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
