What to fix, in order

Most costly first. Every fix is written out in full.

Fix first4

  1. The Google rating is under 4.0.

    The fix: Address the patterns in your negative reviews directly, then increase volume of recent positive reviews.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    Under 4.0 reads as a warning in the map results. Searchers scroll past it, even when the work is good.

    Google Business Profile. Google rating is 3.1/5: Average rating below 4.0 hurts the local-pack click-through dramatically.

  2. Ranks #8 in Google's web results for the main search, past the top seven.

    The fix: Fix the foundational signals first: GBP completeness, LocalBusiness schema with NAP, on-page title + H1 with city.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    Most clicks go to the first few results. The way up starts with the foundation: structured data, the Google profile and page basics.

    Map & search position. Outside the top results (organic #8): The site does not rank in the top 7 organic results for its primary local query.

  3. The site's structured data doesn't describe a local business.

    The fix: Add a LocalBusiness or category-specific subtype (Restaurant, Dentist, etc.) entity with full NAP.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    LocalBusiness structured data spells out the hours, services and service area for Google. Without it, Google leans on the listings that do.

    Business info for Google. No LocalBusiness schema: JSON-LD is present but no LocalBusiness (or subtype) entity is declared. Local pack ranking relies on this.

Show the other 4 fixes

Fix firstcontinued

  1. The site is slow on a phone.

    The fix: Compress images, defer non-critical JS, and serve from a CDN. Focus on Largest Contentful Paint.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    Most local searches happen on phones. A slow load loses visitors before the page appears.

    Speed & Google checklist. Slow mobile performance: Mobile performance score is 42/100. Google uses mobile speed as a ranking factor.

Next2

  1. The homepage has more than one main heading.

    The fix: Keep only one H1; convert the rest to H2/H3 as appropriate.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    Several H1s blur the page's topic. One clear heading tells Google what to rank the page for.

    Page basics. Multiple H1 tags (2): Multiple H1s dilute heading hierarchy and confuse crawlers.

  2. Google's own page checklist flags issues.

    The fix: Review the PSI report for failing audits: title presence, meta description, crawlable links, valid hreflang.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    Google's Lighthouse test runs an SEO checklist on every page. The failing items are straightforward points to collect.

    Speed & Google checklist. Lighthouse SEO score below 90: Lighthouse SEO checks failing — score is 85/100.

When there's time1

  1. The page title is 8 characters, too short to say much.

    The fix: Rewrite the page title to land between 30 and 65 characters with the primary keyword and location.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    A short title says little about what the business does or where. A clear title of 30 to 65 characters earns the click.

    Page basics. Title tag is too short (8 chars): Titles should be 30–65 characters to display fully in search results.
