The unglamorous list, in rough order: get your core business facts accurate and identical everywhere; make sure your site is crawlable and your real services are stated in plain text a machine can read; build up genuine first-hand content that says something generic pages don't; strengthen your Google Business Profile and reviews; and earn independent third-party corroboration — mentions and listings on sites that aren't yours.

Notice what's not on that list: special schema, llms.txt files, keyword-stuffed FAQ pages, "AI formatting." Those are the things the industry oversold and the evidence walked back. We'd rather point you at the handful of things that actually correlate with getting recommended than pad the list to look more sophisticated.

Your VizyReport report is meant to tell you which of these you're weakest on — so you fix the one that'll move your number, not all of them at once.
