Site: https://pierdentalcentre.com/
Report: https://directindex.org/r/pierdentalcentre.com
Scanned: 2026-10-15 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Pier Dental Centre is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://pierdentalcentre.com/accepting-new-patients/ (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +1 604-986-9161

## 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
- **The server turns AI crawlers away at the door.** (+3.3 points) Live fetches as 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. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/blocking-ai-crawlers-without-knowing
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). One block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom-code slot. Replace anything that is wrong.

- **robots.txt lets AI crawlers in.** No rule blocks the key AI user agents.
- **Structured data present (LocalBusiness).** address, phone
- **Appointments on your own site.** Agents can book an appointment without a marketplace in the loop.

## Since the scan of 2026-10-14 (F then)
