things to fix
Action test, 2026-10-18: partial, there's a path, but an agent would have trouble with it. There is a button or a form, but no complete booking or ordering flow an agent can finish on this page.
Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.
What the site tells visitors Measured, not scored
These don't change the grade.
What assistants answer

After the top fixes
With the two fixes above (No structured data for the business; The server turns AI crawlers away at the door), the score would be about 86.3%, which would be first of 45 in Houston hairdressers and beauty salons.
Peers are the businesses in the same index that have a reachable site, using the latest scan of each. The rank comes from the index's current ranking.
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. How to fix it
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points
Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) 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. How to fix it
- 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. How to fix it
