Methodology
Sample. 40 U.S. salon / spa websites sourced from organic search across ~9 U.S. metros — Denver, Tampa, Austin, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Atlanta, San Diego and Minneapolis (independent hair salons/spas; booking-platform-only pages and directories excluded). Directories/aggregators were excluded. 39 were successfully graded; 1 could not be fetched.
Scoring. Each homepage scores on the Salon Website Grader's six weighted categories (see table). A category score is the share of its signals present; the overall score is the weighted sum. Grades: A ≥ 90, B ≥ 80, C ≥ 65, D ≥ 50, else F.
Detection. Signals are detected in homepage HTML using the same patterns as the Codivox website analyzer, plus salon-specific heuristics.
