4What to Fix, in Order of What It Costs

3 costly · 2 material · 3 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. 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, Dentist, etc.) entity with full NAP.

    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.

  2. Your page never says what it's about.

    The main heading tells Google and the visitor what this page does. With none, both have to guess — and guessing costs you the ranking.

    Fix: Add a single descriptive H1 to the page with the primary keyword
    Technical detail · for your developer

    No H1 tag on page — Every page should have exactly one H1. — Add a single descriptive H1 to the page with the primary keyword.

  3. Your site makes phone users wait.

    Over half your visitors are on phones. A slow load is a closed tab before they ever see you.

    Fix: Compress images, defer non-critical JS, and serve from a CDN
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Slow mobile performance — Mobile performance score is 25/100. Google uses mobile speed as a ranking factor. — Compress images, defer non-critical JS, and serve from a CDN. Focus on Largest Contentful Paint.

  4. 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
    Technical detail · for your developer

    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.

  5. Google's own checklist is flagging your pages.

    Google runs an automated scorecard on every page. Failing items are easy points you're handing to competitors who pass them.

    Fix: Review the PSI report for failing audits: title presence, meta
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Lighthouse SEO score below 90 — Lighthouse SEO checks failing — score is 83/100. — Review the PSI report for failing audits: title presence, meta description, crawlable links, valid hreflang.

  6. Your search headline gets cut off mid-word.

    Too long and Google truncates it; too short and it says nothing. Either way the click goes to a clearer competitor.

    Fix: Rewrite the page title to land between 30 and 65 characters
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Title tag is too long (122 chars) — Titles should be 30–65 characters to display fully in search results. — Rewrite the page title to land between 30 and 65 characters with the primary keyword and location.

  7. 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.

    Fix: Add twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description,
    Technical detail · for your developer

    No Twitter Card meta tags — Twitter Card tags control share previews on X/Twitter. — Add twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image meta tags.

  8. Google may be splitting your page's credit in two.

    Tracking links and duplicate URLs can look like separate pages to Google. A canonical tag keeps all the ranking credit on one.

    Fix: Add <link rel='canonical' href='<page url>'> in the page <head>
    Technical detail · for your developer

    No canonical tag — Self-referential canonical tags prevent duplicate content issues from tracking parameters. — Add <link rel='canonical' href='<page url>'> in the page <head>.
