Problems found

1 critical problem found. These are specific, checkable faults on the site — not opinions about it.

• CriticalThe site is not served over HTTPSBrowsers mark it as not secure, and it is a ranking signal in its own right.
• Worth fixingNo XML sitemap foundSearch engines have to discover every page by following links. On a small site that is survivable; on a large one it is not.
• Worth fixingNo structured data on the homepageNothing tells a search engine or an assistant what this business is, where it is, or what it does — in machine-readable terms.
• Worth fixingNo mobile viewport tagThe page is not telling phones how to lay itself out. Most local searches happen on one.
• Worth fixingVery little published contentThe homepage carries 190 words and the site links to no blog, news or insights section. There is little here for a search engine to match, or for an assistant to quote.
• Worth knowingThe site has not changed in a long timeThe homepage last reported a change 3.1 years ago.
