Salon Stories is ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Salon Stories's website. What Salon Stories offers is on another site. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Shortcuts.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://home.shortcutssoftware.com/salonstories (through shortcuts acting for the business)
- Order directly: https://salonstories.com.au/m/orders (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +61 401 408 466

## What to fix first

- **Price list of services is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to fresha.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Structured data found (LocalBusiness).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Appointments through shortcuts on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Ordering on your own site.** Agents can order without going through a marketplace.
