# The Salon Oslo: Agent-Direct Score F (38%) Site: https://thesalon.no/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/thesalon.no Scanned: 2026-10-22 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) The Salon Oslo is largely invisible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by The Salon Oslo'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: +4793944430 - Address: Akersgata 73, 0180, Oslo ## Nearby, also direct Places near The Salon Oslo that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Face & Brows Studio (190 m): https://directindex.org/r/faceandbrows.no - Oslo Negler (220 m): https://directindex.org/r/oslonegler.no - Auralyse (270 m): https://directindex.org/r/noadthai.no ## 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 - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing - **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 ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **No English version declared.** Visitors from abroad, and assistants answering in English, read the page as it is. In Oslo, 9.0% of comparable sites declare one. ## 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 ``` llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # The Salon Oslo > local business in Akersgata 73, 0180, Oslo, Oslo hairdressers and beauty salons. Phone +4793944430. ## About - Website: https://thesalon.no/ - This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models. ``` ## Already right - **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There's no robots.txt, which means everything is allowed. - **Fresha works with agents through its partners.** Fresha's terms of use (August 2026) bar automated programs, bots and scraping; sanctioned assistant integrations exist (ChatGPT and Claude through Fresha's MCP server, Gemini, Alexa), and clients complete the booking on Fresha. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://terms.fresha.com/terms-use. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there.
