What this means for your shop

  • Add a tap-to-call link to your site, because only 53% of local tow sites have one and stranded drivers search on their phones.

  • Add LocalBusiness schema markup, since 63% of sites have it and the rest are harder for search engines and AI tools to read.

  • Install analytics, because only 26% of these sites track visitors, and you can't tell which calls your website actually brings in without it.
