2. Next check 2 · SchemaCheck the structured business record for MentionedOn

   Who can do this

   Website developer or SEO consultant

   Estimated review effort

   30–60 minutes to inspect existing markup

   Evidence status: Website markup was not inspected. A low citation rate does not prove a schema issue.

   Inspect existing JSON-LD on the homepage or primary your primary market page at mentioned-on.com, including markup generated by the CMS or plugins. Find the canonical LocalBusiness entity and correct or extend it only where verified facts are missing or inaccurate. Add a new block only if no relevant entity exists; preserve an existing canonical @id rather than creating a duplicate. Check the applicable subtype, name, url, telephone, address or areaServed, openingHoursSpecification, sameAs, and service entries against current business records.

   Why check this: The scan's citation rate was 8%. Structured data will not guarantee a citation, but it makes the entity facts on mentioned-on.com unambiguous. The scan does not inspect current markup, so check for an existing block first.

   Done when: Schema.org Validator reports no errors, there is only one canonical local-business entity, and every public field matches the profile.

4. Next check 4 · AuthorityBuild independent corroboration for MentionedOn

   Who can do this

   Owner or local marketing consultant

   Estimated review effort

   30–60 minutes to check potential sources

   Evidence status: Citations identify research candidates; they do not establish why a business was named.

   Build a five-site research list from relevant your primary market directories, associations, review platforms, and local guides. Confirm who owns each site and whether it accepts listings or editorial submissions before contacting anyone. Exclude MentionedOn's own website and competitor-owned sites. Verify existing listings first, then pursue accurate independent mentions using consistent business facts.

   Why check this: pest control was named 7 times in the completed scan answers. The captured citations did not identify a suitable independent listing or editorial candidate. Unclassified sites may belong to the business or its competitors; treat them as research evidence, not outreach targets.

   Done when: Each candidate's ownership, category/location fit, and available listing or submission route have been checked. Relevant listings you can access are verified or corrected; unsuitable candidates are skipped. No new placement is required to complete this review.

Effort estimates cover review, not implementation. Confirm access and scope with the person doing the work. These steps do not guarantee AI recommendations.
