# SunShine Co.: Agent-Direct Score F (31.4%)

Site: https://www.thesunshineco.co.uk
Report: https://directindex.org/r/thesunshineco.co.uk
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
SunShine Co. is largely invisible to agents.

## 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No way to book an appointment online.** (+15 points) Agents have nothing to act on. Add an online appointment page on your own domain. 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 with services and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.4 points) Live fetches as ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **robots.txt blocks GPTBot.** (+1.3 points) These are the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI features. Remove the Disallow lines for them, or add explicit Allow rules. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/robots-txt-for-ai-agents

## 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
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "BeautySalon",
  "name": "SunShine Co.",
  "url": "https://www.thesunshineco.co.uk",
  "address": {
    "@type": "PostalAddress",
    "streetAddress": "High Street 276",
    "postalCode": "BR6 0ND",
    "addressLocality": "Orpington"
  },
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 51.3752396,
    "longitude": 0.0987193
  }
}
</script>
```

robots.txt. Add these lines to /robots.txt and delete any Disallow rule that names these crawlers.
