Google Maps listings
Of the 842 listings surveyed, 85% are claimed by their owner and 79% show opening hours. The median listing has 15 reviews (average rating 4.7 out of 5) and 6 photos; 41% of listings have fewer than 10 reviews.
Platforms that listings without their own website link to: doctolib.fr (26), facebook.com (6), sites.google.com (5), instagram.com (3), consultation.avocat.fr (1), linkedin.com (1). A listing that points to a platform works for the platform: it is the one that gets the links, the visits and the history.

Method
Google Maps results (up to 100 listings) for the trade’s search query, centred on the city, collected via OpenSEO on 18/10/2026. Free website analysis (lib/audit.js): home page, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, llms.txt. No paid tools. Listings without a website, platform pages (Doctolib, Planity, Facebook, Instagram, Google Sites…) and network pages appearing 3 times or more: counted in the listings, not in the sites analysed.
Each site is scored out of 100 by the 19 checks listed above, grouped into three pillars (found on Google, cited by AI, turns visitors into customers); failing a critical point caps the score at 59. The score is the tool’s own, which also counts server response time (4 points out of 100). Server response times are not published: they were measured from outside France and do not reflect what a visitor in France sees.
No business name or website address is published: only aggregated statistics. Data collected on 18 October 2026. The aggregated data is published as JSON and may be reused with credit to the source.
The data covers businesses in France (websites and Google Maps listings in French cities), and searches and volumes are from Google France.
