Findings
Finding 1: Hours mismatch between Google and Apple
Observation:
monday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “8:00 AM-5:00 PM”; tuesday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “8:00 AM-5:00 PM”; wednesday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “8:00 AM-5:00 PM”; thursday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “8:00 AM-5:00 PM”; friday: Google “7 AM-7 PM” vs Apple “8:00 AM-5:00 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 2: JSON-LD present but no LocalBusiness type
Observation:
schema at https://dmartelplumbing.com/ lacks LocalBusiness/Dentist/Plumber type — AI/structured data can't classify the business
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.
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.
