Website checks are fixed rules: each one shows the sentence it was found in. Review themes come from the latest Google reviews we could read (26 Aug 2026 to 21 Sept 2026); an AI only groups them by topic and the counting is code. Google reviews tend to skew positive. None of this measures the quality of the work itself. How local checks work
