Leonard 394d5dae3f feat(auditing): pipeline v1.1 — report generation + scripted gate + temporal delta
- report_generate.py: REPORT-final.md + VALIDATION.md from findings + raw
  capture; per-surface status from summary.surfaces_ok; Data Limitations
- report_gate.py: §6 gate scripted (count/evidence/identity/material
  support); non-zero exit blocks delivery
- audit_diff.py: before/after capture comparison -> DELTA.md
- audit_pipeline.sh: 2 steps -> 4; collision-safe capture copy (re-runs
  preserve baseline); relative output dir resolved to absolute
- beta-audit-process.md: locked v1.0 -> v1.1 (+ dated decision record)
- all 9 runs of the 2026-08-15 batch regenerated + gated (9/9 PASS)
- live end-to-end proof: Gilmore re-run, DELTA.md 0 changes (same day)

Findings

Finding 1: Phone number inconsistent across directories

Observation:
Google lists (909) 319-0746. Apple lists +1 (916) 316-5708. Bing lists (215) 416-6557. Website lists 9093190746.

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 “6331 Haven Ave, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91737”. Apple Maps lists “1150 Sibley St, Folsom, CA 95630”.

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: Hours mismatch between Google and Apple

Observation:
friday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “9:00 AM-12:00 PM”; saturday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “10:00 AM-6:00 PM”; sunday: Google “Closed” vs Apple “10:00 AM-5:00 PM”; monday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “9:00 AM-9:00 PM”; tuesday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “9:00 AM-9:00 PM”; wednesday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “9:00 AM-9:00 PM”; thursday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “9:00 AM-9:00 PM”

Impact:
Customers planning a visit see different availability depending on which directory they use. Mismatched hours drive no-shows and lost calls at the edge of the workday.

Recommendation:
Verify actual operating hours with the business. Update the non-authoritative surface to match Google's verified schedule, or correct Google if its hours are inaccurate.


Finding 4: Website URL inconsistent across directories

Observation:
Google lists https://www.superiorplumbingac.com/. Apple Maps lists https://www.yelp.com/biz/w-and-t-hvac-and-plumbing-solutions-folsom-3.

Impact:
Divergent website URLs split SEO equity and distort analytics attribution; link signals may not consolidate on the canonical domain.

Recommendation:
Point every directory at the canonical website URL (https, no tracking parameters) and consolidate redirects so link equity consolidates on one domain.


Finding 5: Average rating 3.6 — below 4.0 threshold

Observation:
Blended average is 3.6 (Google 2.7, Apple None) — 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 6: Rating varies by 1.8 across surfaces (range: 2.74.5)

Observation:
Google shows 2.7 ★ while Apple Maps shows None ★.

Impact:
A rating spread across surfaces undermines the consistency signal local search relies on and can suppress the lower-rated surface in results.

Recommendation:
Verify which rating is current; the stale surface usually reflects an unmanaged listing that has stopped receiving reviews.


Finding 7: No JSON-LD schema found on website

Observation:
{"url": "https://www.superiorplumbingac.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.


Verification Pending

  • Most recent review is 301 days old — no fresh review signal — unclassified — reviewer to decide: {"newest_review_date": "Oct 17, 2025", "days_ago": 301}
  • No canonical URL tag on website — unclassified — reviewer to decide: {"url": "https://www.superiorplumbingac.com/"}

Data Limitations

This audit ran without authenticated access to the business's listings. Known ceilings:

  • Review text and dates were not captured; ratings and counts only.
  • Bing Places is bot-walled for headless capture in most runs; where it shows ✗ above, that surface is excluded from this audit, not verified.
  • This is a point-in-time snapshot; directory data changes after the audit date.

Prepared under the VeriPath beta audit process v1.1. Findings reflect reviewed engine output; format-level discrepancies were normalized before inclusion.
