4What to Fix, in Order of What It Costs

2 costly · 2 material · 2 polish

Ranked by what each gap costs you, not by how a scanner flags it. The top of this list is where you're losing the call or the click today. Work down from there.

  1. You're invisible on the map.

    No Google Business Profile means you can't appear in the map results — where most local searches end. This is the single biggest miss.

    Fix: Claim or create a Google Business Profile at business.google.com. Verify by postcard or phone.

    No Google Business Profile found — Without a GBP, the business cannot appear in the local pack — the single biggest local-SEO miss. — Claim or create a Google Business Profile at business.google.com. Verify by postcard or phone.

  2. Google can't read your hours, services, or service area.

    Without structured data, Google guesses what you do — and shows competitors it's more sure about.

    Fix: Add a LocalBusiness or category-specific subtype (Restaurant,
    Technical detail · for your developer

    No LocalBusiness schema — JSON-LD is present but no LocalBusiness (or subtype) entity is declared. Local pack ranking relies on this. — Add a LocalBusiness or category-specific subtype (Restaurant, Dentist, etc.) entity with full NAP.

  3. You're just below the three businesses that get the calls.

    The top three map results take most of the clicks. You're close — close enough that reviews and a few fixes can move you in.

    Fix: Strengthen NAP consistency across citations, build reviews, and

    Ranking #5 for the primary organic query — Positions 4–7 sit below the top organic results, where the first three capture most of the clicks. — Strengthen NAP consistency across citations, build reviews, and add LocalBusiness schema if missing.

  4. Your photos are invisible to Google.

    Without descriptions, your images can't show up in image search and screen readers skip them. That's reach you're not getting.

    Fix: Audit content images and add descriptive alt text
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Most images missing alt text (49/51) — Image alt coverage is below 70%. — Audit content images and add descriptive alt text. Use empty alt='' only for decorative images.

  5. Your links look like spam when shared.

    Paste your URL into Facebook or a text and you get a blank box. A bare link gets fewer clicks than one with a title and image.

    Fix: Add og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url meta tags to the
    Technical detail · for your developer

    No Open Graph meta tags — Open Graph tags control how the page appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. — Add og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url meta tags to the page <head>.

  6. Your links show no preview on X.

    Shared without a card, your link is a naked URL. A preview with a headline and image earns the click; a bare link doesn't.
