After the top fixes
With the fix above (No price list of services found), the score would be about 95.4%, which would be first of 352 in Baltimore hairdressers, beauty salons and massage.
What to fix first
- No price list of services found +7 points
Agents answer 'what do they offer and what does it cost?' from marketplaces and directories instead. Add a page that lists services and prices as text, and link to it from the homepage. How to fix it
- No llms.txt no points, but worth doing
Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. How to fix it
- The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data
The site shows 901-221-8374, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +14106624648. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.
