# The Missing Ink: Agent-Direct Score D (43.1%) Site: http://www.the-missing-ink.co.uk/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/the-missing-ink.co.uk Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) The Missing Ink is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open The Missing Ink's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Phone: +447539279355 - Address: 227 London Rd, SK7 4HS, Stockport ## Nearby, also direct Places near The Missing Ink that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Beauty Clinic at 99 (370 m): https://directindex.org/r/beautyclinic99.co.uk - Beautyfi (1.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/beauty-fi.co.uk ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (HairSalon, BeautySalon or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No online booking link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add an online appointment page. 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. Add a page that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage.
