The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Bud's Barbershop is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open Bud's 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 Square. ## Direct links - Order directly: https://book.squareup.com/appointments/vkg82dmpx4jpeq/location/LK244H2V9CTV9/services?buttonTextColor=ffffff&color=000000&locale=en&referrer=so (through square acting for the business) - Phone: +12153891514 - Address: 1600 W Ritner St, 19145, Philadelphia - Prices: 8 prices on the site, the middle one $39.50 ## Nearby, also direct Places near Bud's Barbershop that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Philly's Nails (320 m): https://directindex.org/r/phillysnailsspa.com - Hot Hands Massage and Facial Spa (410 m): https://directindex.org/r/hothandsphilly.com - Muscle and Flow Massage (420 m): https://directindex.org/r/muscleandflowmassage.com - The Loc Spa Salon ✂ (420 m): https://directindex.org/r/locsbypeace.com ## What to fix first - **No price list of services found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they offer and what does it cost?' from marketplaces and directories instead.
