How this score is calculated

What This Means

Colonial Donuts scores 71 of 100, a B- grade, which the scale reads as decent. That is below the current median of 78 across audits run with this tool.

The strongest areas are Photos & Visual Content at 100 of 100 and Review Volume at 100 of 100.

One category needs urgent attention: Website & Online Presence at 0 of 100. Scores under 30 mark a gap significant enough to hold back the areas that are working.

Resolving the 3 quick wins below is worth 4 points on this scale, which would move the score to 75 of 100 and a B grade.

Critical Issues

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.

The business name follows Google's naming guidelines
No added keywords, services, locations, or promotional wording were detected in the published name.

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

  1. 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.
