  • Speed & CWV: 37/100, below the sector median of 65.5.

Griffiths Marshall leads the index with 73/100. The largest gaps are: AI search presence (20 vs 60); Content & trust (60 vs 100); Visibility (21 vs 50).

  1. Publish structured, citable content and entity schema so AI engines surface the business for core local queries.
  2. Build local landing pages for the core keyword basket to lift organic and local-pack appearance.
  3. Cut mobile LCP below 2.5s (optimise images and remove render-blocking resources) — the biggest score and ranking lever.
