Findings

Finding 1: Phone number inconsistent across directories

Observation:
Google lists (530) 291-1888. Apple lists +1 (530) 344-0290. Website lists 551-0858478.

Impact:
Customers reaching the business through a single directory may call a disconnected or wrong number. Inconsistent NAP (name-address-phone) signals reduce local search ranking across all surfaces.

Recommendation:
Confirm the correct primary number, then update every directory to match. Keep the verified number identical across Google, Apple, and the website.


Finding 2: Address inconsistent across directories

Observation:
Google lists “6400 Pleasant Valley Rd, El Dorado, CA 95623”. Apple Maps lists “493 Pleasant Valley Rd, Ste 110, Diamond Springs, CA 95619”.

Impact:
Conflicting addresses split local search signals and can send customers or service vehicles to the wrong location. NAP consistency is a core local-ranking factor.

Recommendation:
Confirm the canonical street address (including unit) with the business, then align Google and Apple to the same string.


Finding 3: Average rating 3.3 — below 4.0 threshold

Observation:
Blended average is 3.35 (Google 3.4, Apple 3.3) — below the 4.0 trust threshold.

Impact:
A sub-4.0 average is below the trust threshold for most local verticals and suppresses click-through in the local pack regardless of review volume.

Recommendation:
Review the lower-rated reviews for recurring service issues; respond publicly to negative reviews and prioritize the service gaps they describe.


Finding 4: No JSON-LD schema found on website

Observation:
{"url": "https://www.diamondspringsdental.com/", "has_jsonld": false}

Impact:
Without LocalBusiness structured data, AI assistants and structured search cannot reliably classify or cite the business's services, hours, and area served.

Recommendation:
Add LocalBusiness JSON-LD (Dentist/Plumber/Contractor type) with name, address, phone, hours, and areaServed.
