The website's grade

Some AI assistants are turned away by Gent'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 Zenoti.

Action test, 2026-10-19: partial, there's a path, but an agent would have trouble with it. There is a button or a form, but no complete booking or ordering flow an agent can finish on this page.

Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.

After the top fixes

With the two fixes above (No price list of services found; The server turns AI crawlers away at the door), the score would be about 80%. That would be 24th of 386 in Minneapolis hairdressers and beauty salons, up from 97th.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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. How to fix it

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

    Requests as 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. How to fix it

  3. 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
