# Strands: Agent-Direct Score C (61.5%) Site: https://www.strands.com.au/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/strands.com.au Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Strands is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open Strands'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 booking.clientdiary.com. ## Direct links - Phone: 0731722575 ## What to fix first - Prices: 4 prices on the site, the middle one A$65.00 ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **4 prices on the landing page, the middle one A$65.00.** In Brisbane, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is A$82.00. - **Appointments through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **No price list of services found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer and what does it cost?' from marketplaces and directories instead.
