What this means for your shop

  • Basics will not set you apart here, since 100% of audited sites have HTTPS and mobile support, so put your effort into the items fewer sites have.

  • Add LocalBusiness schema if you lack it, because 72% of audited sites have it and the rest are missing a clear signal for search and AI tools.

  • Check your phone number is a tap-to-call link, since 89% of sites have one, and confirm analytics is installed, since 78% have it.
