Key Gaps

Biggest opportunities

  • Structured data — Service pages
    Sampled 1 service pages; expected Service OR Professionalservice, found: no JSON-LD.
    → Add Service schema on service pages with `serviceType`, `provider` (Organization), `areaServed`, and a `hasOfferCatalog` for tiered offerings. Target path pattern: /services/*.
  • 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: /l/*.
  • Answer-first formatting
    Sampled 1 page(s): ✗ / (no H1+lede)
    → Lead every key page with a clear H1 stating what it covers, immediately followed by a 1-2 sentence paragraph naming the audience and outcome.
  • Business clarity on homepage
    missing title/description/H1
    → Aim for a specific, benefit-oriented title (<70 chars), a 120–160 char meta description, and a scannable H1 + opening paragraph.
  • Semantic heading and list structure
    H1=0, H2=14, H3=22, lists=8, tables=0
    → Use exactly one H1, a coherent hierarchy of H2/H3, and at least one well-formed list or table in primary content.
