things to fix

Action test, 2026-10-14: failed, an agent cannot act here. The page has nothing an agent can act on.

Provisional: the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. 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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. How to fix it

  2. 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. How to fix it

  3. The server turns AI crawlers away at the door +6.7 points

    Live fetches as GPTBot (http_403), ClaudeBot (http_403) were refused while a normal browser got the page. This is usually a hosting or firewall bot list the owner never chose. Ask the host to allow these user agents. How to fix it

Assistants

What assistants answer

Each assistant is asked three questions about this business: the official website, where to book, where to order. The cell says where the answer sent people.

Not asked yet. Assistants are asked about the top-ranked businesses in each city index, and about every claimed business the moment it is claimed; claim this page to be included.
