The website's grade
Some AI assistants are turned away by Rufus'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 Setmore.

What assistants answer

After the top fixes
With the three fixes above (No structured data for the business; The server turns AI crawlers away at the door; No price list of services found), the score would be about 87.7%. That would be 15th of 1,089 in Montreal hairdressers and beauty salons, up from 698th.
Peers are the businesses in the same index that have a reachable site, using the latest scan of each. The rank comes from the index's current ranking.
What to fix first
- No structured data for the business +14 points
Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (HairSalon, BeautySalon or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it
- The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +10 points
Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (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
- 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
- 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
