# VELA SPA: Agent-Direct Score B (73.8%) Site: http://vela-spa.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/vela-spa.com Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) VELA SPA is mostly ready for agents. An AI assistant can open VELA SPA's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://www.vela-spa.com/appointments (on the business's own site) - Phone: +13122967318 - Address: 965 W 18th St, 60608, Chicago ## Nearby, also direct Places near VELA SPA that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Tres Jolie Medical Spa and Wellness Center (190 m): https://directindex.org/r/tresjoliemedicalspa.com ## What to fix first - **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.
