Observable
Points come from a dated website scan, verified Covelyo profile information, connected providers, or approved local peer data.
Transparent evidence in. Explainable score out.
Covelyo documents what it measures, where the evidence came from, what remains unknown, and how recommendations relate to the 700 available points.
Bounded
Each check has a published maximum. Category totals always add to 700, and missing evidence cannot exceed its check.
Honest
Unavailable sources are labeled unverified. Covelyo does not invent traffic, rankings, AI recommendations, or review sentiment.

Interpretation
What the score does not mean.
- It does not guarantee a position in Google, maps, an AI answer, or any other third-party result.
- It does not independently verify professional licensing, suitability, availability, or service quality.
- Estimated point improvements describe available score opportunity—not guaranteed business results.
- Competitor comparisons are shown only when approved local peers provide a meaningful evidence set.
