### Finding #2: Hours mismatch on 5 day(s) — GBP is authoritative

  },
  {
    "day": "wednesday",

]

Finding #3: Review count varies by 147 across surfaces

### Finding #4: Category varies across surfaces: consumer sector, home service, plumber

- **Severity:** 🟨 Medium
- **Category:** Digital Identity
- **Recommendation:** Align primary category across all directories. GBP primary category is the ranking driver.

  "google": "plumber",
  "apple": "consumer sector",

### Finding #6: 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": 6,
  "specific_count": 0
}
