# The Edge Beauty & Spa: Agent-Direct Score D (40%) Site: https://www.theedgebeautyspa.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/theedgebeautyspa.com 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.) The Edge Beauty & Spa is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open The Edge Beauty & Spa's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Fresha, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Phone: +1 905 522 1010 - Address: 1686 Main Street West, Hamilton, ON L8S 0A2 - Hours, from OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps: Mon closed; Tue–Sat 10:00–17:00; Sun closed - Open on Saturday ## Nearby, also direct Places near The Edge Beauty & Spa that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Main West Massage (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/mainwestmassage.com - P's Nails (100 m): https://directindex.org/r/psnailssalonhamilton.com - Dream Aesthetics (680 m): https://directindex.org/r/dreamaestheticdundas.com - Maison Fritz (750 m): https://directindex.org/r/maisonfritzdundas.com - Glow Up Beauty Lounge (1.3 km): https://directindex.org/r/glowupbeautylounge.com ## What to fix first - **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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 - **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 - **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 - **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript - **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).
