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.
