Report: https://directindex.org/r/salonninesf.com
Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Salon Nine is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open Salon Nine'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 Mindbody.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://brandedweb.mindbodyonline.com/embed/widget.js (through mindbody acting for the business)
- Phone: +14159897704
- Address: 9 Maiden Ln, 94108, San Francisco

## Nearby, also direct

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (HairSalon, BeautySalon or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. 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
- **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.

- **Mindbody works with agents through its partners.** Mindbody's consumer agreement (July 2025), section 20(1), bars accessing or monitoring its systems by robot, spider, scraper or other automated means; approved Network Partners may book for users through the Affiliate API. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://www.mindbodyonline.com/consumer-agreement. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there.
