Table stakes
- Clear booking or quote request CRITICALNo booking or quote wording found in the page text: none of book, schedule, appointment, contact us, request a quote or free estimate appears. Add a visible way to book or ask for a quote. (-12 points)
Findability
- LocalBusiness structured dataNo structured data at all: no schema.org markup was found on the page, so nothing on it states the business type, the city it serves or its hours in a machine-readable form. Add LocalBusiness markup.
- City named in the page titleThe homepage title does not contain 'Los Angeles' (currently 'LA Auto Repair'). Put the city in the title.
- Service-area or locations pagesNo service-area or locations pages found among this site's internal links. A page for each town or suburb served puts those place names on the site in a form search engines and AI assistants can read.
Content
- More than a brochure siteOnly 0 distinct internal links found on the homepage. This scan reads one page per site, so that is a count of what the homepage links to, not of the pages on the site. This check passes at 30 or more.
- Site looks maintainedNo date or copyright year found, so nothing on the page names a year. This check passes at 2025 or later.
- Exactly one H1 headingFound 0 H1 headings. Should be exactly one stating what the business does and where.
Trust
- Licensing, insurance or guarantee statedFew or no trust signals (licensed, insured, bonded, guarantee, years in business). This check passes at two or more distinct signals. State the ones this business carries.
- Linked social profilesNo links to facebook.com, instagram.com, linkedin.com, youtube.com, x.com, twitter.com, nextdoor.com found on the page. Link the profiles this business keeps.
AI visibility
- Machine-readable business identityNo LocalBusiness schema on the page, so the markup states neither the business type nor the place it serves. Add it.
- Services and service area stated in plain textNo services or service-area wording found in the page text: none of our services, services we, what we do, service area or areas we serve appears. State the services and the places served in readable text.
- Opening hours in page textHours aren't stated in readable text. Put the opening hours in the page text.
- FAQ / question-shaped contentNo FAQ content. Add an FAQ section that answers the questions customers ask.

Is this your business? Corrections are free and unconditional.
If you would rather not have a page here, write to me and I will take it down. You do not need to give a reason and I will not ask for one. Your page and its share image come down and your name stops linking to anything. Your row in the ranking stays, because the ranking is built from Google's public listings and dropping one business would misstate the market for everyone else in it. Removals are done by hand, so allow up to seven days. A removal is permanent and a later scan does not undo it.
Correcting what a business publishes so assistants can read it properly is work I do for a fee. If that is useful to you, say so in the same email and I will tell you what it would take. If it is not, the scan stays free and public either way.
