## What to fix first, by points
- **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). It is the one block every assistant reads first; the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No way to book an appointment online.** (+15 points) Agents have nothing to act on. Add an online appointment page on your own domain. 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 with services and prices as text and link it from the homepage. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai

## Fix kit: what to paste

Structured data, one block in the page head:

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Physician",
  "name": "New York Hand Surgery",
  "url": "https://www.nyhanddoctor.com/",
  "telephone": "+1-718-369-4263",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 40.6687223,
    "longitude": -73.9858073
  }
}
</script>
```
