Site: http://arcusmed.com
Report: https://directindex.org/r/arcusmed.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.)
Arcus Medical is mostly ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open Arcus Medical'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 va.gov.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://arcusmed.com/pages/afex-for-veterans (on the business's own site)
- Phone: 17043323424
- Address: 4400 Stuart Andrew Blvd  Ste A, 28217-1591, Charlotte
- Prices: 4 prices on the site, the middle one $100

- Dynamic Health Carolinas (2 km): https://directindex.org/r/dynamichealthcarolinas.com

## What to fix first
- **No list of services and prices found.** (+7 points) Agents answer 'what do they treat and what does it cost?' from 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.** (+6 points) Missing: address, telephone, opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Appointments through an unrecognised third party.** (no points, but worth doing) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows +18772728763, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 17043323424. 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)
- **4 prices on the landing page, the middle one $100.** In Charlotte, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $88.25.

## 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.
