## Findings
### Finding #1: Phone number inconsistent across 1 surface(s)
- **Severity:** 🟥 Immediate
- **Category:** Digital Identity
- **Recommendation:** Standardize phone format across all directories. GBP is authoritative.

"google": "(916) 354-6261",

}
```

"apple": "5180 Golden Foothill Pkwy, Ste 210, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762"
}
```
### Finding #3: Hours mismatch on 5 day(s) — GBP is authoritative
- **Severity:** 🟥 Immediate
- **Category:** Google Business
- **Recommendation:** Correct hours on non-GBP surfaces to match GBP. Mismatched hours cause customer complaints and trust loss.

[
{
"day": "monday",

```
### Finding #4: No website found

### Finding #5: Cannot determine review recency — no dates available in samples
- **Severity:** 🟨 Medium
- **Category:** Reviews
- **Recommendation:** Review date data is not available from current surfaces. Monitor via GBP dashboard directly.

"sources_with_dates": []
}
```
### Finding #6: Category varies across surfaces: consumer sector, personal injury attorney
- **Severity:** 🟨 Medium
- **Category:** Digital Identity

"google": "personal injury attorney",
"apple": "consumer sector"
}
```

"google",
"bing",
"website"
]
}
```
### Finding #8: Price level not set on GBP or Apple Maps
