Public-path leaks look different in every vertical. The inspection standard does not.
Home services, clinics, salons, hospitality, restaurants, studios, shops, advisors, and product brands fail in different places. Revvye still reads only what a stranger, a crawler, and an answer engine can see.

One inspection standard. Five public actions.
Revvye does not become a booking engine, a clinic OS, or a travel magazine. It reads the public page a stranger would meet, then names the break against the action that sector actually sells: call the job, book the appointment, reserve the stay or table, start a conversation, or reach checkout.
The named checks stay in the public taxonomy. What changes is which surface has to work on a phone in the next ten minutes. A salon booking widget, a hotel cancellation policy, a clinic provider-to-service link, and a product return line are different objects. They are still public-path objects.
Indexability still comes first for search and AI answers
Google's current guidance for AI experiences points back to the same people-first, indexable pages used by core Search. If a service-area page, menu, listing, or itinerary is blocked by robots.txt, or exists only as a scanned PDF or an iframe, neither Google nor an answer engine has a useful source to quote.
Structured data helps when it matches the visible page — LocalBusiness for shops and clinics, Product and Offer for storefronts, FAQPage only for questions the page actually answers. Markup that invents facts is a policy failure, not a ranking tactic. Revvye flags completeness and crawl access. It does not publish scoring weights or promise citations.
Booking-path verticals fail on phones, not on talent
Hospitality, restaurants, salons, studios, and home services usually do not lose because the work is weak. They lose because the calendar, widget, or call CTA does not survive a real mobile viewport, or because hours, NAP, and policy disagree with the map listing a buyer already has open.
A public scan cannot see occupancy, table mix, or membership churn. It can see whether the booking URL is a real page, whether the widget returns a confirmation, and whether the cancellation or deposit rule appears before payment. Those are the leaks operators can fix without handing over a CRM.
Trust-path verticals fail on specificity, not on adjectives
Clinics, veterinary, professional firms, independents, advisors, and real estate agents sell a conversation. Generic praise, a buried consult CTA, and a bio that never names the situation the buyer is in are the public leaks. Reviews that never mention a treatment, neighborhood, or engagement type do not help a stranger self-select.
The scan will not recommend clinical claims, investment performance, or MLS truth. It will say whether the next step is obvious, whether identity schema exists, and whether a referred visitor lands on the same firm the referrer described.
What to do next
Open the industry route closest to how you sell, then run the free scan on the URL a stranger would actually type. Use the result to decide whether the next spend is a $97 evidence pack, a roadmap, or a specialist review — not a new acronym.
If no sector is a perfect match, the scanner still starts with the public path. Industry copy is context. Your pages supply the evidence.
