things to fix
Action test, 2026-10-14: completed, an agent can reach the step before confirming. A Shopify widget renders on the page and can be used without a login.
Provisional: the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.
What to fix first
- Structured data is incomplete +7 points
Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it
- 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 with services and prices as text and link it from the homepage. How to fix it
No one is listed yet to fix this in San Francisco hairdressers and beauty salons. List your agency or yourself: free, reviewed by hand.

- AI crawlers get the page GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- Structured data present (Organization) but without address, phone or hours
- Ordering on your own site Agents can order without a marketplace in the loop.

Not asked yet. Assistants are asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about every claimed business the moment it is claimed; claim this page to be included.
