Village Hairdressers is partly visible to agents.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Village Hairdressers'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, through Shortcuts.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://home.shortcutssoftware.com/villagehairdressers (through shortcuts acting for the business)
- Phone: +61738708366

## What to fix first

- **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
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
