Primary Finding

Apex's homepage links visitors away to dakotasdavis.com (a parent company's domain), handing any credibility signal to another site while Western Industries Fire captures the Houston metro search results.

Visibility Gap 75%
Outbound Link Leak Homepage navigation links directly to dakotasdavis.com process/safety service pages instead of internal content (confirmed: apex-fireprotection.com homepage fetch)
No Geo Service Pages No pages targeting Tomball, Houston, or surrounding areas — Google has nothing location-specific to rank (confirmed: site nav fetch, zero local landing pages)
No Schema Markup No LocalBusiness, Organization, or Service schema found — invisible to Google's structured understanding (confirmed: homepage source, no ld+json blocks)
Brochure-Level Content Site is a basic WordPress install with minimal content depth and no blog, no trust signals, no case studies (confirmed: homepage fetch and nav links)
