Critical Issues
Nothing critical. This profile clears the essentials. The category breakdown below shows where the remaining points are.
Google Policy Check
Google's Business Profile guidelines ask for the real-world business name in the name field, with services, locations, and marketing wording kept in the fields built for them. This matters because Google can suspend listings over name issues, and a suspension would take everything this report measures offline with it. This check reads the name as Google currently publishes it and does not affect the score above.

- Note
- Google reports at most 10 photo references for a listing. A listing showing 10 may hold many more, so this category is scored within that limit and does not distinguish between them.
What to do
- Google's public data reports at most 10 photos, so we cannot see the full library. Listings in Restaurants & Food typically carry 10 to 20 photos. Keep adding current photos across the exterior, interior, team, and what the business sells.

What to do
- The website loads securely over HTTPS, but the website field on the Google Business Profile still points at the http:// address. Update it to the https:// address so customers and Google are sent straight to the secure version.
- The website returned an access-restricted response to our audit tool, so some checks could not be completed. Allowing reputable audit tools to reach the site lets these checks run.
