2. Get 5 reviews mentioning emergency plumbing this month
+7 pts
Why: Your review count is zero, and competitors like Bedford Plumbing & Heating leverage customer feedback to rank higher.

3. Add Plumber schema to your homepage by Friday
+12 pts
Why: Your structured data health is 10.0%, and missing schema hurts citations and visibility across queries.

4. List specific service categories in schema by next week
+8 pts
Why: Citation accuracy is 0.0% because you lack specific service categories like drain cleaning in your schema.

5. Add 24/7 emergency response markup to homepage
