Why it matters: Review volume is a top-3 local ranking factor and the #1 social proof signal.
The fix: Systematic review asks: QR card at point of sale + SMS follow-up. Target 8-12 new reviews/month.
Why it matters: A dead link kills both the click and Google's trust.
The fix: Fix hosting/redirect immediately.
Why it matters: The local pack shows 3 results; review strength is the main tiebreaker for who gets in.
The fix: Close the review gap (volume + velocity) and fully optimize the profile to outrank weaker pack members first.
Why it matters: Wasted keyword real estate; Google uses it for relevance matching.
The fix: Write a 750-char description front-loading services + city.
