# Boston Va Research Institute: Agent-Direct Score D (50.8%) Site: http://www.bvari.org Report: https://directindex.org/r/bvari.org 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.) Boston Va Research Institute is hard for agents to use. An AI assistant can open Boston Va Research Institute's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It can't find a link to book or order online. ## Direct links - Phone: +16173252815 - Address: 1400 Vfw Pkwy, 02132-4927, West Roxbury ## Nearby, also direct Places near Boston Va Research Institute that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between. - Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians (550 m): https://directindex.org/r/orthosportandspine.com - Nirvana Medical Aesthetics (560 m): https://directindex.org/r/nirvanamedicalaesthetics.com - Sea Legs Integrative Veterinary Health (750 m): https://directindex.org/r/sealegsvet.com - Parkway Veterinary Hospital (950 m): https://directindex.org/r/parkwayvethospital.com ## What to fix first - **No online booking link on the website.** (+15 points) There's no link on the site for an agent to follow. If you take bookings or orders through a platform, link to it from the site so agents can find it. Add an online appointment page on your own domain.

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 that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage.
