Live site vs prototype
How the live kisseeinspections.com compares with the redesign prototype on SEO, answer-engine (AEO), and local SEO readiness. Every live finding is sourced; anything we could not check is marked Not verified.
SEO readiness
17 checks. Not verified or not measured, excluded: live 1, prototype 1.
AEO readiness
8 checks. Not verified or not measured, excluded: live 0, prototype 0.
Local SEO readiness
7 checks. Not verified or not measured, excluded: live 3, prototype 3.
Overall checklist readiness: live site 62/100, prototype 73/100 (32 checks). Opportunity counts as partial credit because the prototype is a review copy; the launch items are listed in the Gap report.
What this redesign unlocks
The redesign keeps every live service and city topic but rebuilds the core pages around the phone and the free quote: one H1 per page, a meta description on all 378 pages, business schema on 342, FAQ markup on 151, pages about 20 KB instead of about 338 KB, and no generic blocks under the quote form.
Still to do: decide which near-copy city and service pages stay, fix titles and 6 canonicals, add share images, noindex the review copy, confirm the rating and counts, and at launch add robots.txt, sitemap.xml, a 404 page, and llms.txt on the production domain.

Facts for Kissee to confirm
These appear differently in different places. We have not picked one; Kissee should confirm the right figure before launch.
- Google rating. We were told the About page says 4.7 and the home page says 4.9. On Sep 30, 2026 we found 4.9 ('Based on 800+ Reviews') on both live pages, and 4.9 on the prototype home and About. We found 4.7 nowhere. Kissee to confirm the current figure.
- Inspections completed. The live home page says 10000+; the live About page, and the counter strip on most service and city pages, say 9000+. The prototype uses 10,000+ on home and About.
- Review count. '800+ reviews' appears on the live badge, in the prototype hero, in the prototype heading '800+ Five-Star Google Reviews' and the line '800+ verified Google reviews', and in the home markup (800). Not checked against Google.
- Social profiles. The prototype footer links Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X. The live footer links none; the same profiles appear only in live structured data.
- Earlier search figures. An earlier version of the presentation quoted clicks, positions, a 4.95 rating, and 919 reviews from a third-party report. Those figures were not re-verified and have been removed from the presentation.

How to read this. Scores are checklist readiness only (Pass = 2, Needs work or Opportunity = 1, Gap = 0; Not verified, Opportunity (not verified), and Not measured are excluded). They are not rankings, traffic, or search-volume estimates, and none are claimed here.
Live findings come from the sources named on each check, all read from kisseeinspections.com on 2026-09-30. Anything we could not check directly is marked Not verified. Rankings, the Google Business Profile, Google reviews, traffic, and speed scores were not measured and are marked Not measured; no figures are given for them. Prototype items marked "Designed for go-live, add at launch." are technical plumbing (production robots.txt, sitemap.xml, final canonical tags, llms.txt) that belongs on the production domain, not the review copy.
