Report: https://directindex.org/r/sallybeauty.co.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Sally Beauty is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.sallybeauty.co.uk/Article?cid=delivery (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +44 121 742 8443

## 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 with services and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
