# Box State Barbers: Agent-Direct Score D (47.7%) Site: http://boxstatebarbers.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/boxstatebarbers.com Scanned: 2026-10-16 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Box State Barbers is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open Box State 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, through Vagaro. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://www.vagaro.com/boxstatebarbersturnberry/services (through vagaro acting for the business) - Phone: //7205416131 ## What to fix first ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **The footer says © 2020.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. - **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 working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it. - **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript - **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. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site. ``` # Box State Barbers > hair salon in Denver hairdressers and beauty salons.
