# Focus: Agent-Direct Score D (44.2%)

Report: https://directindex.org/r/duke.edu
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.)
Focus is hard for agents to use.
Some AI assistants are turned away by Focus's website. It can read what Focus offers. It can't find a link to book or order online.

## 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). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **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/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Requests as GPTBot (challenge:access denied) were refused, but a normal browser got the page. That's usually a bot list at the host or in a firewall that the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **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": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Focus",
  "url": "https://focus.duke.edu",
  "telephone": "17049000252",
  "address": "309 S Sharon Amity Rd  Ste 204, 28211-2886, Charlotte",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 35.1741523,
    "longitude": -80.8014183
  }
