What this means for your shop
Reviews are not the gap here, since only 1 business has under 50 reviews, so your edge has to come from your website and AI visibility.
Add LocalBusiness schema if you lack it, because 80% of the sites we audited already have it.
Keep AI crawlers allowed, since 0% of audited sites block them, and add an llms.txt file because only 60% have one.
