# The Blade: Agent-Direct Score D (45.1%)

Site: https://www.theblade702.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/theblade702.com
Scanned: 2026-10-23 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Blade is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by The Blade'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 Booksy, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://square.site/book/8BBJ8PZCYV0YT/the-blade-las-vegas-nv (through square acting for the business)
- Phone: +17022626466
- Address: 7380 S Eastern Ave #122, 89123, Las Vegas
- Prices: 14 prices on the site, the middle one $40.00

## Nearby, also direct

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (HairSalon, BeautySalon or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. 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
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+6.7 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (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
- **Appointments only through booksy.** (+5 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 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.
- **14 prices on the landing page, the middle one $40.00.**
