Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Ferguson Dental Associates is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.fergusondental.com/booking-your-appointment/ (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +1 973-744-3181

## 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 with services and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## Already right
- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **AI crawlers get the page.** GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot all received a normal response.
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address, phone, opening hours
- **Appointments on your own site.** Agents can book an appointment without a marketplace in the loop.
