## 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.

- Passed The homepage links to pricing or a “how it works” page.
- Passed Prices are given in the structured data.
- Passed The homepage itself states prices or explains how it works.
- Failed No 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.

## 1. Pricing or “how it works” discoverable (pricing_info)
Target: A pricing or packages page (starting prices are enough) and a short “how it works” section, both linked from the homepage.

## 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.`
