# Xpression MCR Hair & Beauty: Agent-Direct Score C (60%) Site: http://www.xpressionmcr.co.uk/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/xpressionmcr.co.uk Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Xpression MCR Hair & Beauty is partly visible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Xpression MCR Hair & Beauty'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 - Order directly: https://www.xpressionmcr.co.uk/account-orders.php (on the business's own site) - Phone: +441613125822 - Address: 76 Hulme High St, M15 5JP, Manchester - Prices: 65 prices on the site, the middle one £16.99 ## Nearby, also direct Places near Xpression MCR Hair & Beauty that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Nadia's Beauty Salon (1.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/nadiasbeautycentre.com - CLNQ (1.2 km): https://directindex.org/r/clnq.com ## What to fix first - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429), ClaudeBot (http_429), PerplexityBot (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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing - **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 - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **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 - **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 07300955551, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +441613125822. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org. ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **65 prices on the landing page, the middle one £16.99.** In Manchester, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is £39.00. ## 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. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Xpression MCR Hair & Beauty > organization in 76 Hulme High St, M15 5JP, Manchester, Manchester hairdressers and beauty salons.
