# Chic Barber: Agent-Direct Score D (48.8%) Site: http://www.chicbarbers.co.uk/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/chicbarbers.co.uk Scanned: 2026-10-21 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) Chic Barber is hard for agents to use. Some AI assistants are turned away by Chic Barber'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://chicbarber.setmore.com/ (through setmore acting for the business) - Phone: +442033252460 - Address: 174A Kensington Church St, W8 4DP, London - Prices: 14 prices on the site, the middle one £29.50 ## Nearby, also direct Places near Chic Barber that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Medspa Beauty Clinic (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/medspa.co.uk - Well Well Well (160 m): https://directindex.org/r/well-well-well.co.uk - Sugaring (220 m): https://directindex.org/r/sugaring.london ## 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 - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429) 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 - **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) - **14 prices on the landing page, the middle one £29.50.** In London, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is £46.00. ## 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. ``` # Chic Barber > local business in 174A Kensington Church St, W8 4DP, London, London hairdressers and beauty salons.
