H1 is Google's strongest single on-page topical signal; the homepage emits none.

evidence: grep '<h1' on fetched HTML → 0 matches

Fix: Add one descriptive H1 to the hero.
02 WARN

~74 chars. Google rewrites weak descriptions ~70% of the time.

evidence: <meta name=description> captured live

Fix: Rewrite to 150-160 chars with a differentiator + phone.
03 WARN
