Barron Dental is hard for agents to use.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://uk.dentalhub.online/soe/new/%20?pid=UKBSS02 (through dentalhub acting for the business)
- Phone: +44 131 553 2726

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Dentist, MedicalClinic, Physiotherapy or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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 with services and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.
