# Cool Dog: Agent-Direct Score D (50.8%)

Site: http://whatacut.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/whatacut.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.)
Cool Dog is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Cool Dog'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/book/cool-dog-houston/barber/nicholas-garcia/services (through squire acting for the business)
- Phone: +17135709263
- Address: 1606 White Oak Dr, 77009, Houston

## Nearby, also direct

## 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
- **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
- **Almost no text without JavaScript.** (+2 points) Crawlers that don't run scripts see an empty page. Put the menu, hours and address in plain HTML. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/website-blank-without-javascript
- **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

## 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.
