# Cut & Grind Barbers: Agent-Direct Score C (58.5%) Site: https://cutandgrindbarbers.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/cutandgrindbarbers.com 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.) Cut & Grind Barbers is partly visible to agents. Some AI assistants are turned away by Cut & Grind 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 on the site. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://cutandgrindbarbers.com/booksy-bookings/ (on the business's own site) - Phone: +442074399995 - Address: 25 D'Arblay Street, W1F 8EJ, London ## Nearby, also direct Places near Cut & Grind Barbers that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Nexus Nails (100 m): https://directindex.org/r/nexusnails-soho.co.uk - Stelios Hair (110 m): https://directindex.org/r/stelioshair.com - My Snug Room (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/my-snug-room.co.uk - Oliver Stephens (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/oliverstephens.com - Digital Perm (140 m): https://directindex.org/r/digital-perm-london.info ## What to fix first - **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+10 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403), PerplexityBot (http_403) 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 - **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 ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **The footer says © 2019.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In London, 68% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later. ## 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. ``` # Cut & Grind Barbers > organization in 25 D'Arblay Street, W1F 8EJ, London, London hairdressers and beauty salons.
