## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+14 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Dentist, MedicalClinic, Physiotherapy 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
- **List of services and prices is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to internetbrands.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. 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

## 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.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Dentist",
  "name": "Congress Dental",
  "url": "http://www.congressdentalgroup.com",
  "telephone": "6175748700",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 42.3540642,
    "longitude": -71.0560666
  }
}
</script>
```

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
