+## Findings
+
+### Finding #1: Phone number inconsistent across 1 surface(s)
+
+- **Severity:** 🟥 Immediate
+- **Category:** Digital Identity
+- **Recommendation:** Standardize phone format across all directories. GBP is authoritative.
+- **Evidence:** ```json
+{
+  "google": "(916) 299-8983",
+  "apple": "+1 (916) 931-1996"
+}
+```
+
+### Finding #2: Address inconsistent across 1 surface(s)
+
+- **Severity:** 🟥 Immediate
+- **Category:** Digital Identity
+- **Recommendation:** Standardize exact address format. GBP address is authoritative.
+- **Evidence:** ```json
+{
+  "google": "4517 Serrano Pkwy #104, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762",
+  "apple": "4517 Serrano Pkwy, El Dorado Hills, CA  95762"
+}
+```
+
+### Finding #3: Hours mismatch on 5 day(s) — GBP is authoritative
+
+- **Severity:** 🟥 Immediate
+- **Category:** Google Business
+- **Recommendation:** Correct hours on non-GBP surfaces to match GBP. Mismatched hours cause customer complaints and trust loss.
+- **Evidence:** ```json
+[
+  {
+    "day": "monday",
+    "google": "7 AM-4 PM",
+    "apple_maps": "7:00 AM-4:00 PM"
+  },
+  {
+    "day": "tuesday",
+    "google": "7 AM-6 PM",
+    "apple_maps": "7:00 AM-7:00 PM"
+  },
+  {
+    "day": "wednesday",
+    "google": "7 AM-5 PM",
+    "apple_maps": "7:00 AM-5:00 PM"
+  },
+  {
+    "day": "thursday",
+    "google": "7 AM-6 PM",
+    "apple_maps": "7:00 AM-6:00 PM"
+  },
+  {
+    "day": "friday",
+    "google": "7 AM-4 PM",
+    "apple_maps": "7:00 AM-4:00 PM"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+### Finding #4: No website found
+
+- **Severity:** 🟧 High
+- **Category:** Technical SEO
+- **Recommendation:** A website is essential for credibility, schema markup, and conversion. Launch one immediately.
+
+### Finding #5: Review count varies by 139 across surfaces
+
+- **Severity:** 🟨 Medium
+- **Category:** Reviews
+- **Recommendation:** Large review count gaps suggest some surfaces have stale or merged data. Verify listing ownership.
+- **Evidence:** ```json
+{
+  "google": 166,
+  "apple": 27
+}
+```
+
+### Finding #6: Cannot determine review recency — no dates available in samples
+
+- **Severity:** 🟨 Medium
+- **Category:** Reviews
+- **Recommendation:** Review date data is not available from current surfaces. Monitor via GBP dashboard directly.
+- **Evidence:** ```json
+{
+  "sources_with_dates": []
+}
+```
+
+### Finding #7: Category varies across surfaces: dentist, health care
+
+- **Severity:** 🟨 Medium
+- **Category:** Digital Identity
+- **Recommendation:** Align primary category across all directories. GBP primary category is the ranking driver.
+- **Evidence:** ```json
+{
+  "google": "dentist",
+  "apple": "health care"
+}
+```
+
+### Finding #8: No business description found on any surface
+
+- **Severity:** 🟨 Medium
+- **Category:** Content
+- **Recommendation:** Add a keyword-rich description to GBP and website. Descriptions improve click-through and category relevance.
+- **Evidence:** ```json
+{
+  "surfaces_checked": [
+    "google",
+    "bing",
+    "website"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Finding #9: Only 0% of sample reviews mention specific services or practitioners
+
+- **Severity:** 🟩 Enhancement
+- **Category:** Reviews
+- **Recommendation:** Encourage detailed reviews mentioning services and staff. Specific reviews rank higher and convert better.
+- **Evidence:** ```json
+{
+  "sample_size": 3,
+  "specific_count": 0
+}
+```
+
+### Finding #10: Price level not set on GBP or Apple Maps
+
+- **Severity:** 🟩 Enhancement
+- **Category:** Content
+- **Recommendation:** Set price level ($–$$$$) on GBP. Helps users self-select and improves relevance.
