| Location info | Description | Souvla is a fast-fine group of modern Greek restaurants with locations throughout San Francisco. Inspired by casual souvlaki joints found throughout Greece. We rotisserie roast naturally-raised meats and wrap them in our warm, fluffy pita bread with seasonal salads and Greek yogurt sauces. (The word “souvla” means “spit” or “skewer” in Greek to the rod on which meat is roasted.) Our Greek fries have made a whole lot of “best fry” lists, and don’t miss out on our frozen Greek yogurt served in our version of the classic “NY Cup.” The first Souvla opened its doors in April, 2014 in Hayes Valley, and in the four years since, have opened locations in San Francisco's NoPa, Mission and Marina neighborhoods. | Confirmed | Google Business Profile |

| AI visibility | 14 | 100 | Whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overviews name you, and whether they name you for the right service. | Good |
| Reviews & response | 12 | 82 | The star average is only one input. We also read volume, velocity, the specificity of review language, and response cadence. Specific reviews are what AI quotes verbatim. | Good |

| Google Business Profile | 8 | 90 | Required and recommended fields; update cadence. The listing AI pulls from first. | Good |
| Speed & mobile | 7 |  | Core Web Vitals at the 75th percentile, on a real phone. |  |
| Content freshness & schema | 5 | 78 | Crawl recency, intent alignment, valid JSON-LD, canonicals. | Good |
