Google Search Console Pitfalls & Critical Warnings
Avoid these 3 common validation traps, parser errors, and algorithmic policy penalties when deploying ProfessionalService schema.
Confusing Private Investigator with Security Guard Agency
Tagging a licensed investigator as a generic guard patrol company loses high-intent legal and matrimonial case leads.
Use `@type`: 'ProfessionalService' with explicit detective and digital forensic items in `hasOfferCatalog`.
Omission of 24/7 Availability for Urgent Surveillance
Surveillance operations frequently require same-night dispatch; failing to declare 24/7 hours causes clients to call competitors.
Declare full 24/7 `OpeningHoursSpecification`.
Missing State-Level Licensing in areaServed
PI licenses are issued at the state level; omitting the `State` entity in schema restricts search visibility outside the office city.
Include both `State` and primary `City` objects in `areaServed`.
