After the top fixes

With the fix above (Structured data is incomplete), the score would be about 95.4%. That would be 18th of 1,551 in Vancouver, up from 62nd.

Peers are the businesses in the same index that have a reachable site, using the latest scan of each. The rank comes from the index's current ranking.

Findings

What to fix first

  1. Structured data is incomplete +3 points

    Missing: opening hours. How to fix it

  2. 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

  3. The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data

    The site shows +1 (604) 525-3474, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists 6047385487. 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.
