What is this benchmark?
Answer accuracy
Whether answer engines state hours, location, and services that match the business's public facts.
Why it matters
A recommendation with the wrong hours still fails the caller.
How SiteGlue evaluates it
Compare live engine answers to the scanned public facts. Planned until live tests run.
- Passing criteria
- Live answers match published hours, location, and services.
- Failing criteria
- Live answers contradict the public site.
- Not verified
- No live accuracy comparison ran.
- Not applicable
- Not applicable when the business has no stable public facts.
Scoring weight: 1. Evidence: Quoted engine answer plus the matching site fact.
Example results
Pass
The engine reports the same hours published on the site.
Fail
The engine reports a closed location or outdated phone number.
Recommended fixes
- Keep NAP, hours, and services consistent across pages and JSON-LD.
Frequently asked questions
Can ARO structured data fix accuracy by itself?
It helps engines read facts. Accuracy still needs a live answer to compare.
