🔴 Critical (1)

Address these first — they're blocking your visibility.

  • 🔴
    No website on file

    Without a website, Search here leans entirely on its Google profile at the decision stage — customers can't browse your hours, services, or photos on a site of your own. A one-page site (Carrd or Google Sites, ~$5/month) with your hours, address, and a few photos covers the basics customers expect.

    A website is where customers check hours, services, and photos at the decision stage; without one, a business relies entirely on its Google profile.

🟠 Major (2)

Significant gaps that meaningfully limit ranking.

  • 🟠
    Photo count under threshold

    Profiles with 10+ photos receive 35% more clicks-to-website on average (BrightLocal 2024).
  • 🟠
    Weak backlink profile

    Only 0 other websites link to Search here — Google treats backlinks as third-party trust votes, so Pubs competitors with 10+ usually outrank you. Start with three free directory listings: BBB.org, your local Chamber, and Yelp.
