What this means for your shop

  • Only 21% of audited sites have LocalBusiness schema, so adding it is a quick way to stand out from most local competitors.

  • Only 29% of audited sites have a tap-to-call phone link, and every audited site works on mobile, so fix this first.

  • None of the audited sites block AI crawlers, and only 29% have an llms.txt file, so a clear one is an easy addition.
