# Boston Blendz Barbershop: Agent-Direct Score D (53.8%) Site: http://Bostonblendz.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/bostonblendz.com 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.) Boston Blendz Barbershop is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open Boston Blendz 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 Squire. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://getsquire.com/booking/brands/bostonblendzbarbershop (through squire acting for the business) - Phone: +16173905511 - Address: 8 Hyde Park Ave, 02130, Boston - Prices: 80 prices on the site, the middle one $52.50 ## 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). 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 ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **80 prices on the landing page, the middle one $52.50.** In Boston, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $89.50. ## 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. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Boston Blendz Barbershop > local business in 8 Hyde Park Ave, 02130, Boston, Boston hairdressers and beauty salons.
