# Decent Cut: Agent-Direct Score D (54.9%) Site: http://Www.decentcut.com/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/decentcut.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.) Decent Cut is hard for agents to use. Some AI assistants are turned away by Decent Cut's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Fresha, a marketplace. ## Direct links - Phone: 01618390678 - Prices: 10 prices on the site, the middle one £21.50 ## Nearby, also direct Places near Decent Cut that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Vidal Sassoon (100 m): https://directindex.org/r/sassoon-global.com - Nails Inc (130 m): https://directindex.org/r/nailsinc.com - Laser Clinics UK (130 m): https://directindex.org/r/laserclinics.co.uk - Trevor Sorbie (170 m): https://directindex.org/r/trevorsorbie.com - REVIV Manchester (170 m): https://directindex.org/r/revivme.com ## What to fix first - **Appointments only through fresha.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website - **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 - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+4 points) Missing: telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **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.

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. ``` # Decent Cut > hair salon in Manchester hairdressers and beauty salons.
