Source: Mindflow research, saved files as collected (before later listing rulings in 23 metros), October 2026: home-service contractors in San Jose across 8 trades (plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, garage door, pest control, remodeling and water damage). Homepage features out of 85 homepages; site features out of 96 crawled sites. These counts show what was present, not whether it worked. Full study · Method.
Many San Jose sites in the sample kept their reviews on a separate page, if they had one at all. A new site can put recent reviews on the homepage and on each service page, beside the request, without adding pages.
