X5 Cuts is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open X5 Cuts'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 Booksy.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://booksy.com/widget/code.js?id=110053&country=us&lang=en-US (through booksy acting for the business)

## 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). 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
- **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)
- **9 prices on the landing page, the middle one $40.00.**

## Book or order directly

- Book: https://booksy.com/widget/code.js?id=110053&country=us&lang=en-US (through booksy acting for the business)

## About

- Website: https://x5cuts.com/?y_source=1_Nzk1ODc4ODktNTU5LWxvY2F0aW9uLndlYnNpdGU%3D
- This file follows llms.txt (https://llmstxt.org): a short plain-text description for language models.
```

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the main AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all got a normal response.
- **Appointments through booksy on your own domain.** There's no marketplace commission, and the customer stays yours.
- **Booksy works with agents through its partners.** Booksy's US customer terms (June 2026), section 4.2.6, bar automated tools such as bots, crawlers or scrapers collecting data from the app; the sanctioned agent path is Google AI Mode, which books into the provider's calendar. Terms read on 2026-10-15: https://booksy.com/en-us/p/terms. An assistant that isn't a partner may not be able to finish there. A direct path on your own domain works for all of them.
