# Tandem Hair: Agent-Direct Score D (50.8%)

Tandem Hair is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Tandem Hair's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online.

## Direct links
- Phone: +27215552547
- Address: shop 4, Tandem hair salon, Racecourse Rd, 7441, Milnerton

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Tandem Hair that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- Janine's Health and Skincare Clinic (1.6 km): https://directindex.org/r/skinclinic.co.za

## What to fix first
- **No online booking link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add an online appointment page. 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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 0214241210, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +27215552547. 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.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Organization",
  "name": "Tandem Hair",
  "url": "http://www.thepaddocks.co.za/",
  "telephone": "+27215552547",
  "address": "shop 4, Tandem hair salon, Racecourse Rd, 7441, Milnerton",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": -33.86216591,
    "longitude": 18.50336571
