4What to Fix, in Order of What It Costs

0 costly · 3 material · 1 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 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 add LocalBusiness schema if missing.

    Technical detail · for your developer

    Ranking #4 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.

  2. 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 (19/25) — Image alt coverage is below 70%. — Audit content images and add descriptive alt text. Use empty alt='' only for decorative images.

  3. Your page sends Google mixed signals about its topic.

    Several competing headings dilute the point. Google can't tell what the page is for, so it ranks you for less.

    Fix: Keep only one H1
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Multiple H1 tags (6) — Multiple H1s dilute heading hierarchy and confuse crawlers. — Keep only one H1; convert the rest to H2/H3 as appropriate.

  4. We couldn't measure your site's speed.

    Google's speed tool didn't return a result for your site — usually a temporary hiccup, sometimes a sign the page is slow to load at all.

    Fix: Speed up the initial render
    Technical detail · for your developer

    PageSpeed Insights could not be measured — PSI timed out before Lighthouse finished rendering the page. — Speed up the initial render — most timeouts happen when the page paints nothing in the first ~25 seconds.
