# V&CO: Agent-Direct Score F (23.1%)

Site: https://www.vandcohairbeautybar.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/vandcohairbeautybar.com
Scanned: 2026-10-17 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
V&CO is largely invisible to agents.
AI assistants cannot open the website of V&CO, so they rely on what other sites say about it.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.vandcohairbeautybar.com/online-bookings (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +61 404 493 333

## What to fix first
- **The site turns every visitor without a browser away, AI agents included.** (+25 points) A plain fetch was refused (cloudflare_challenge); only a real browser got the page. Every AI crawler and agent is turned away the same way, so Reachable scores 0 and the rest is measured on the rendered page. Ask the host to let the AI user agents through. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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 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

## 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.

<script type="application/ld+json">

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** There is no robots.txt, which allows everything.
- **Appointments on your own site.** Agents can book an appointment without a marketplace in the loop.
