The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.) The Lancaster Barber Company is partly visible to agents. An AI assistant can open The Lancaster Barber Company'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 Acuity Scheduling. ## Direct links - Book directly: https://thelancasterbarberco.as.me/ (through acuity acting for the business) - Phone: +17247394013 - Address: 210 Fairmount Ave, Philadelphia 19123 ## Nearby, also direct Places near The Lancaster Barber Company that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Nirvana Wellness MedSpa (90 m): https://directindex.org/r/nirvanawellnessmedspa.com - Art Lair Shave Parlor (110 m): https://directindex.org/r/artlairshaveparlor.com - Wash Day (120 m): https://directindex.org/r/washdayphl.com - Ovations Salon (200 m): https://directindex.org/r/ovations-salon.com - Formation Sauna and Wellness (240 m): https://directindex.org/r/formationsauna.com ## 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).
