# The Hive: Agent-Direct Score C (67.7%) Site: https://www.thehivesalon.ie/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/thehivesalon.ie Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.) The Hive is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open the website of The Hive. It finds no menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly, through Phorest. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://phorest.com/book/salons/thehivesalon (through phorest acting for the business) - Phone: +353 1 475 8649 ## What to fix first - **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business ## Fix kit: What to paste Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong. ```html ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # The Hive > hair salon in Dame Lane 1 Dublin, Dublin hairdressers and beauty salons.
