Key Gaps

Biggest opportunities

  • Structured data — Product pages
    Sampled 1 product pages; expected Product, found: article, corporation, faqpage, webpage, website.
    → Add Product schema with `name`, `description`, `image`, `brand`, and an `offers` → Offer with `price`, `priceCurrency`, and `availability`. Add `aggregateRating` if you collect reviews. Target path pattern: /us/*.
  • Trust and proof signals
    No trust-building signals detected
    → Add an About page, visible testimonials or customer logos, and standard policy pages (Privacy, Terms).
  • Semantic heading and list structure
    H1=0, H2=14, H3=27, lists=20, tables=0
    → Use exactly one H1, a coherent hierarchy of H2/H3, and at least one well-formed list or table in primary content.
  • Structured data / Schema.org coverage
    Homepage (1 sampled): present — website Product pages (1 sampled): missing About / company page (1 sampled): present — corporation
    → Top improvements for this scan (highest impact, already quick to ship): • Add Product on /us/* (Product pages) — impact +10, ease 4/5.
  • MCP server card (.well-known/mcp.json)
    No `/.well-known/mcp.json` or `/.well-known/mcp` available
    → Publish `/.well-known/mcp.json` describing your MCP server: include `name`, `description`, `capabilities`, `tools[]`, and optional `auth` endpoints per the MCP spec.
