- Clear Braces Direct (290 m): https://directindex.org/r/clearbraces-direct.co.uk

## 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
- **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)
- **6 prices on the landing page, the middle one £290.** In London, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is £80.00.

## Fix kit: What to paste

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