Scanned: 2026-11-13 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
TrueTress Hair Company is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open TrueTress Hair Company's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It can't find a link to book or order online.

- Address: 340 S Loudon Ave Unit 25110, Baltimore 21229

## Nearby, also direct
Places near TrueTress Hair Company that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- A Nu You Salon & Spa (2.9 km): https://directindex.org/r/newyousalonandspa.com
- Easterwood Barber Shop (3.8 km): https://directindex.org/r/baltimorecity.gov

## What to fix first
- **No online booking link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. 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 on your own domain. 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 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

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **7 prices on the landing page, the middle one $12.00.** In Baltimore, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $60.00.
