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.)
True Gents Barbershop is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open True Gents 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 Squire.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://getsquire.com/booking/brands/true-gentz (through squire acting for the business)
- Phone: +15873561163

## What to fix first
- Prices: 8 prices on the site, the middle one CA$31.00

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **8 prices on the landing page, the middle one CA$31.00.** In Calgary, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is CA$66.25.

- **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.** (+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

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.
