Shirley Dental Practice is mostly ready for agents.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.shirleydentalpractice.co.uk/general-dentistry/root-canal-treatment/ (on the business's own site)
- Phone: +44 20 8656 7627

## 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
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+2 points) Missing: telephone. 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.

## 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 (Organization).** address, opening hours
- **Appointments on your own site.** Agents can book an appointment without a marketplace in the loop.

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