| Signal | Weight | Score | What it measures | Goren Eye |

| Reviews & response | 12 | 18 | 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. | Poor |

| Google Business Profile | 8 | 79 | Required and recommended fields; update cadence. The listing AI pulls from first. | Good |
| Speed & mobile | 7 | 65 | Core Web Vitals at the 75th percentile, on a real phone. | Good |
| Content freshness & schema | 5 | 53 | Crawl recency, intent alignment, valid JSON-LD, canonicals. | Fair |
