For multi-vertical franchise SEO + corporate-marketing technical-SEO

A 200-location multi-vertical franchise runs one generic LocalBusiness schema template across all locations. The Restaurants are missing menu schema. The Dental clinics are missing Physician credentials. The Auto-Shops are missing makesOffer. Per-vertical rich-result eligibility silently dropped per-vertical.

Schema App, Schema Pro, Yoast SEO Schema, Rank Math Schema, Merkle JSON-LD Generator, Hall Analysis Schema Generator ship per-template schema-generator primitives. Toast POS, Square POS, Lightspeed Restaurant ship menu-data sources. The per-location vertical auto-detector + per-vertical schema pack composer (Restaurant + menu; Dentist + Physician; HairSalon + Service; AutomotiveBusiness + makesOffer; Store + Product) + hybrid-vertical composition + schema-pack-drift detection at multi-vertical- franchise scale is operator-side architecture.

Frequently asked

What is restaurant schema?

Restaurant schema is the Schema.org Restaurant type — a sub-type of LocalBusiness that adds restaurant-specific fields including menu, servesCuisine, hasMenu (and downstream hasMenuItem + hasMenuSection), acceptsReservations, openingHours, priceRange. The per-template schema-generator category includes Schema App, Schema Pro, Yoast SEO Schema, Rank Math Schema, Merkle JSON-LD Generator, Hall Analysis Schema Generator. The restaurant-specific source category includes Yelp (food-service field), GBP (Restaurant + food-service category), Toast POS (menu data), Square POS (menu data), Lightspeed Restaurant. The per-vertical schema landscape includes Schema.org Restaurant, FastFoodRestaurant, BarOrPub, Bakery, CafeOrCoffeeShop, Dentist (sub-type of MedicalBusiness), MedicalBusiness, Physician, HairSalon, BeautySalon, NailSalon, DaySpa, AutomotiveBusiness, AutoRepair, AutoDealer, AutoPartsStore, Store, ClothingStore, ElectronicsStore, Hotel, EducationalOrganization, ProfessionalService, Service, FinancialService. The vertical-schema-pack-composition skill on the schema-audit-remediation agent (Specialization stage of the 3-skill closed-loop bundle alongside rich-result-eligibility-scoring + jsonld-generation-from-master-record) — auto-detecting per-location vertical from master record + GBP category + service inventory + POS data, then composing the right per-vertical schema pack per per-location at multi-vertical-franchise scale — is operator-side architecture above the per-template schema-generator primitive.

How does per-location vertical auto-detection actually work?

Per-location vertical auto-detection runs the Specialization stage of the schema-audit-remediation agent. Per-location vertical-detection request triggers per-location vertical-substrate assembly: per-location master-record per-vertical-field + per-location GBP per-primary-category + per-location GBP per-additional-categories + per-location service-inventory per-service-list + per-location POS-data per-menu-or-product-catalog + per-location service-area per-areaServed-pattern. Per-location vertical-detection composite ranks per-vertical-signal per-priority (per-GBP-primary-category highest priority; per-master-record per-vertical-field second; per-POS-data per-menu-or-product-catalog third; per-service-inventory fourth). Per-location composite vertical advances per-location vertical-classification (per-Restaurant + per-FastFoodRestaurant + per-CafeOrCoffeeShop + per-BarOrPub + per-Dentist + per-MedicalBusiness + per-HairSalon + per-BeautySalon + per-DaySpa + per-AutomotiveBusiness + per-AutoRepair + per-Store + per-ClothingStore + per-Hotel + per-EducationalOrganization + per-ProfessionalService).
