Site: https://www.88barbershop.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/88barbershop.com
Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
88 Barber Shop is hard for agents to use.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://book.squareup.com/appointments/pxf76kubquycyx/location/PW4N87VHJY2M1?gei=WsdraNe2ENSd0PEP_Zvy4Qg&hl=en-US&rwg_token=ACgRB3eKMwW5lfmho3ClT6hWN5-SfnUnYaa05mR5RLFQG2LiyQCf1-oZXGbh5yBQjv9sYRfydAUK4MlXmAwLlcjgMfISxeWywA%3D%3D (through square acting for the business)

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (HairSalon, BeautySalon or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). It is the one block every assistant reads first; 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 with services and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Live fetches as GPTBot (http_429) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
