Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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. How to fix it About this vendor

  2. Structured data is incomplete +7 points

    Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. How to fix it

  3. Price list of services is on another site +5 points

    The link goes to fresha.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. How to fix it

  4. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +3.3 points

    Requests as GPTBot (http_429) 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. How to fix it

  5. 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. How to fix it

Already right

  • robots.txt lets AI crawlers in No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
  • Structured data found (Organization) no address, phone or hours in it
  • Fresha works with agents through its partners Fresha's terms of use (August 2026) bar automated programs, bots and scraping; sanctioned assistant integrations exist (ChatGPT and Claude through Fresha's MCP server, Gemini, Alexa), and clients complete the booking on Fresha. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://terms.fresha.com/terms-use. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
