# The Barber Shop: Agent-Direct Score C (56.9%) Site: http://www.the-barbershop.net/ Report: https://directindex.org/r/the-barbershop.net Scanned: 2026-10-19 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) The Barber Shop is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open The Barber Shop's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online. ## What to fix first - WhatsApp: a link on the site ## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored) - **The footer says © 2023.** Visitors and assistants may read that year as the last time anyone looked after the site. In Vancouver, 66% of comparable sites that show a year say 2025 or later. - **No online booking link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add an online appointment page. 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 - **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it. - **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant - **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 ## 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.
