Key Gaps

Biggest opportunities

  • Structured data — Homepage
    Sampled 1 homepage; expected Organization OR Website, found: webpage.
    → Add Organization JSON-LD to your homepage with `legalName`, `url`, `logo`, and `sameAs` (Twitter / LinkedIn / GitHub). Target path pattern: /. Also consider: Add WebSite JSON-LD with a `potentialAction` of `SearchAction` so AI systems and search know where to query your site.
  • Structured data — Location / store pages
    Sampled 1 location / store pages; expected Localbusiness OR Restaurant OR Store OR Medicalorganization OR Dentist, found: no JSON-LD.
    → Add LocalBusiness schema on each location page with `address`, `geo` (lat/long), `telephone`, `openingHoursSpecification`, and `priceRange`. Target path pattern: /store-locator/*.
  • Machine-readable capability discovery
    Probed 18 endpoints — none returned a valid .well-known response.
    → If you expose APIs or developer capabilities, publish /.well-known/openid-configuration, /.well-known/mcp, or /.well-known/api-catalog as appropriate.
  • Structured data / Schema.org coverage
    Homepage (1 sampled): missing Location / store pages (1 sampled): missing
    → Top improvements for this scan (highest impact, already quick to ship): • Add Organization or Website on / (Homepage) — impact +10, ease 1/5. • Add Localbusiness or Restaurant or Store or Medicalorganization or Dentist on /store-locator/* (Location / store pages) — impact +10, ease 3/5.
  • Contact accountability signals
    No /contact URL found in nav or sitemap.
    → Publish a /contact page with email, phone, and physical address (or legal entity).
