Dr. Heather Brown Orthodontics is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Dr. Heather Brown Orthodontics's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. To book or order, it is sent to Zocdoc, a marketplace.

## 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 only through zocdoc.** (+12 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **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

## 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": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Dr. Heather Brown Orthodontics",
  "url": "http://www.DrHeatherBrown.com/",
  "telephone": "+17136654455",
  "address": "2636 South Loop W, 77054-2402, Houston",
