# Barber Shop NYC: Agent-Direct Score C (66.2%) Site: https://www.barbershop.nyc/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/barbershop.nyc Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Barber Shop NYC is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open Barber Shop NYC'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 Booksy. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://booksy.com/widget/code.js?id=388730&country=us&lang=en-US (through booksy acting for the business) - Phone: +12125108028 - Address: 660 5th Ave, New York 10103-0040 ## Nearby, also direct Places near Barber Shop NYC that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - The Peninsula Spa & Wellness Center (160 m): https://directindex.org/r/peninsula.com - Martial Vivot Salon Pour Hommes (170 m): https://directindex.org/r/martialvivot.com - Philip Kingsley Trichological Clinic (190 m): https://directindex.org/r/philipkingsley.com ## What to fix first - **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. ```html ``` llms.txt.
