# Hook & Scissor: Agent-Direct Score B (80%)

Site: https://hookandscissor.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/hookandscissor.com
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Hook & Scissor is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Hook & Scissor. It finds no 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: http://hookandscissor.com/bookonline (on the business's own site)
- Order directly: https://app.squareup.com/logout?app=appointments&return_to=https://app.squareup.com/book/AS1YHK0VAK7BQ/hook-scissor-san-francisco-ca (through square acting for the business)
- Phone: +1 415-872-9585

## 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. Add a page with services and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that do not run scripts see an empty page. Render the menu, hours and address as plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
