What this means for your shop
Only 75 percent of the shops have a website, so a clean, working site still sets you apart from a quarter of your competitors.
Just 67 percent of audited sites use LocalBusiness schema and only 47 percent run analytics, so adding both closes real gaps.
No audited site blocks AI crawlers and 60 percent publish an llms.txt file, so keep your site open and add one.
