The website's grade

Some AI assistants are turned away by The Hair Chair'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 Shortcuts.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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

  2. 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. How to fix it

  3. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points

    Requests as GPTBot (challenge:access denied), ClaudeBot (challenge:access denied) 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

  4. 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

  5. The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data

    The site shows 0488%20140 044, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists (02) 9798 7908. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.
