  }
]
```

### Finding #4: Average rating 3.3 — below 4.0 threshold

    "apple": 3.3
  }
}
```

### Finding #5: Website URL inconsistent across 1 surface(s)

  "has_jsonld": false
}
```

### Finding #7: Review count varies by 21 across surfaces

  "google": 49,
  "apple": 28
}
```

### Finding #8: Cannot determine review recency — no dates available in samples

- **Severity:** 🟨 Medium

  "sources_with_dates": []

  "google": "dental clinic",
  "apple": "health care"
}
```

### Finding #10: 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 #11: Price level not set on GBP or Apple Maps

- **Severity:** 🟩 Enhancement
