# SK Hair Salon: Agent-Direct Score C (56.9%) Site: https://www.skhairsalon.ca/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/skhairsalon.ca Scanned: 2026-11-12 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) SK Hair Salon is partly visible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by SK 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 Vagaro. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://www.vagaro.com/skhairsalon/services (through vagaro acting for the business) - Phone: +1-905-389-4946 - Address: 945 Garth Street, L9C 4L3 ## Nearby, also direct Places near SK Hair Salon that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Gentz & Trendz (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/gentsandtrendz.com - Cutting Edge Nails Salon (730 m): https://directindex.org/r/cuttingedgenails.com - Lovemyskynn (1.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/lovemyskynn.ca - Mentality Barber Shop (1.7 km): https://directindex.org/r/mentalitybarbers.com ## What to fix first - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (http_403) 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 - **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 - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: 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.

Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong. ```html ``` llms.txt.
