What this means for your shop
Only 30% of these sites run analytics, so most owners cannot see which visitors turn into bookings.
Just 45% of sites have a tap-to-call phone link, which makes it harder for mobile visitors to reach you.
Only 15% have an llms.txt file and none block AI crawlers, so a clear llms.txt file is an open lane.
