Scanned: 2026-10-24 (Provisional, with the action test and the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
The Philadelphia Barber Company Kensington is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open The Philadelphia Barber Company Kensington'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 on the site.

- Herringbone Salon (520 m): https://directindex.org/r/herringbonesalon.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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+1 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
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 2157861106, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +12157892377. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **15 prices on the landing page, the middle one $50.00.** In Philadelphia, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $47.00.

## 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.
