HIPP Orthodontics is partly visible to agents.
An AI assistant can open HIPP Orthodontics's website. It can't find a menu or price list, so it answers from other sites. It finds a phone number, but no link to book or order online.

- The Edge Physio Centre (1.4 km): https://directindex.org/r/physiocentre.co.za

## What to fix first
- **No online booking link on the website.** (+13 points) There's only a phone number or WhatsApp, and agents can't use those yet. 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. 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
- **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

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