things to fix
Action test, 2026-10-14: partial, a path exists but an agent would struggle. There is a button or a form, but no complete booking or ordering flow an agent can finish on this page.
Provisional: the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.
Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (HairSalon, BeautySalon or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it
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. How to fix it
Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. How to fix it
No one is listed yet to fix this in Boston hairdressers and beauty salons. List your agency or yourself: free, reviewed by hand.
