# Genre pack — Salon (deep example)
**Status:** working shell from planning conversation (not locked)
**Status:** working shell — **not locked**
**Vertical:** appointment-based beauty / hair
**Assumes Layer A** (Discovery foundation) already ranked or clean.
**Core 3 rule:** set on **GBP** first; mirror on Apple Business Connect / Bing Places where the field exists. GBP = richest; Apple = mid; Bing = thinnest.
Where a platform has no field, use description/website — do not invent platform-native checkboxes.
**Evidence honesty (2026-09-15):** first matrices were SME/local-SEO practice + invented example businesses, **not** a live Core 3 schema dump. After Desk’s source check: Layer A identity/hours/category/website fields are real across Core 3; services are **GBP-strong**; rich attributes are **GBP + Apple “Good to Know”**, Bing thinner. Category-specific checkboxes (e.g. women-led) stay **unverified universal** until per-category attribute lists are pulled.
**Core 3 rule:** set on **GBP** first; mirror on Apple Business Connect / Bing Places where the field exists.
**Confidence:** `sourced` = field family confirmed in official product/API docs; `placeholder example` = illustrative cell value only.
