# The Syndicate: Agent-Direct Score C (55.4%) Site: http://www.thesyndicate.hair/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/thesyndicate.hair Scanned: 2026-10-18 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) The Syndicate is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open The Syndicate'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: +97145548090 ## What to fix first - **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 - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **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 - **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 ## 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 Syndicate > local business in Sadaf 2 Podium Plaza, Marsa Dubai, JBR, دبي, Dubai hairdressers and beauty salons.
