Skin Energy is partly visible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Skin Energy's website. It can read what Skin Energy offers. To book or order, it is sent to Fresha, a marketplace.

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Skin Energy that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- CLAI (2 km): https://directindex.org/r/clai.co.za
- Manipedi Nail Bar and Foot Spa (2.3 km): https://directindex.org/r/manipedi.co.za
- Rouge Old Bakery (2.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/rougespa.co.za

## What to fix first
- **Appointments only through fresha.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as ClaudeBot (http_429) 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 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Person",
  "name": "Skin Energy",
  "url": "http://www.skinenergy.co.za/",

> person in 47 Bell Crescent Westlake Business Park, 7945, Cape Town, Cape Town hairdressers and beauty salons. Phone +27713627706.

## Book or order directly

- Menu: https://skinenergy.co.za/skin-rejuvenation/

## About

- Website: http://www.skinenergy.co.za/
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **Structured data found (Person).** no address, phone or hours in it
- **Price list of services is an HTML page.** Agents can read the items and prices.
- **Fresha works with agents through its partners.** Fresha's terms of use (August 2026) bar automated programs, bots and scraping; sanctioned assistant integrations exist (ChatGPT and Claude through Fresha's MCP server, Gemini, Alexa), and clients complete the booking on Fresha. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://terms.fresha.com/terms-use. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
