Viking Barbershop is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Viking 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 vikingbarbershop.valei.com.

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 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
- **Appointments through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. 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
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (http_429) 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
- **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)
- **5 prices on the landing page, the middle one SEK 369.** In Gothenburg, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is SEK 500.

## 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.
