How we measure it
We look for pricing or “how it works” information: a link to a pricing page, a price in structured data or an amount in the homepage text. Any of them passes, none fails.
What the result page says
These are the sentences in the test result; “…” is replaced by what we found on your site.
- PassedThe homepage links to pricing or a “how it works” page.
- PassedPrices are given in the structured data.
- PassedThe homepage itself states prices or explains how it works.
- FailedNo pricing, packages or “how it works” information was found on or linked from the homepage.
How to fix it
Target: A pricing or packages page (starting prices are enough) and a short “how it works” section, both linked from the homepage.
How to verify it yourself
The homepage should link to a page with starting prices or packages, or a step-by-step “how it works”.
Fix it with an AI coding agent
Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor or another coding agent working on your store’s code. Review the change before you deploy it.

## Rules
- First look through the codebase and tell me which files or templates you will change, before editing anything.
- Change only what these checks need, and keep the visible page and the structured data saying the same thing.
- Never invent prices, stock, shipping or return terms, reviews or product identifiers (GTIN): take them from the store’s real data or ask me.
- Don’t block or slow down real visitors and don’t add tracking.
- After deploying, run the free test again at https://specoria.com/ to verify the fix.
