Standard Barbershop is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Standard 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.

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Standard Barbershop that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.

- Get Sculpted La (170 m): https://directindex.org/r/getsculptedla.com
- Hemangini (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/hemanginibeauty.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. 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)
- **4 prices on the landing page, the middle one $55.00.** In Los Angeles, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $65.00.

## Fix kit: What to paste

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
