# Arte Barbershop: Agent-Direct Score D (50.8%)

Site: http://ArteBarbershop.ca/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/artebarbershop.ca
Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Arte Barbershop is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Arte Barbershop'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.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://booking.setmore.com/scheduleappointment/9afa0935-23c7-4e0e-853a-5767f513cbf3?lang=English (through setmore acting for the business)
- Order directly: https://app.squareup.com/appointments/book/297c6kkrd1et0k/LKG400Y4EKCPP/start (through square acting for the business)
- Phone: +16135134122

## What to fix first

- **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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+7 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. 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

## 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.
