Site: http://www.thepoliceclub.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/28yorkplace.com
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.)
York Barbers is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open York Barbers'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
- Book directly: https://www.28yorkplace.com/bar-28/?table=true (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +44 131 558 7303
- Address: York Place 4B EH1 3EP Edinburgh
- Hours, from OpenStreetMap · Overture Maps: Mon closed; Tue–Fri 11:00–17:30; Sat–Sun closed
- WhatsApp: a link on the site

## Nearby, also direct
Places near York Barbers that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.

- Beyond Medispa Edinburgh (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/beyondmedispa.com
- Nails Inc (170 m): https://directindex.org/r/nailsinc.com

## 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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
- **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 0131 524 0110, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +44 131 558 7303. 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.

## 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.
