Table stakes
- Mobile-ready CRITICALNo mobile viewport tag. Add one so phone browsers lay the page out at the phone's width. (-12 points)
Findability
- LocalBusiness structured dataHas generic Organization schema but no LocalBusiness markup, so the markup states that this is a company without stating the city it serves or when it is open. Add LocalBusiness markup.
- City named in the page titleThe homepage title does not contain 'St. Louis' (currently 'Eric's Master Auto Repair | Auto Repair & Tire...'). 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
- Page title present and sized correctlyTitle is 67 characters ('Eric's Master Auto Repair | Auto Repair & Tire Shop in...'). This check passes at 10 to 65 characters.
- Meta description presentThe meta description is 188 characters. This check passes at 50 to 165 characters.
AI visibility
- AI crawlers and opt-out tokens allowed in robots.txt CRITICALwww.ericsmasterautorepair.com/robots.txt disallows Applebot-Extended. Applebot-Extended is not a crawler: it is the token a vendor reads to decide whether to train on a page and whether to ground an answer in it, so disallowing it does not stop the page being fetched.
- Machine-readable business identityNo LocalBusiness schema on the page, so the markup states neither the business type nor the place it serves. Add it.
- FAQ / question-shaped contentNo FAQ content. Add an FAQ section that answers the questions customers ask.
Measured as legibility: whether an assistant can read and understand the site. Assistants are not polled live.

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.
