|---|
| Miku Restaurant | 10 | 5 | 1.4 | Perplexity, Claude, Google |
| Tojo's Restaurant | 8 | 3 | 2.1 | Perplexity, Claude |

Miku leads in primary recommendations. Sakura is competitive but needs stronger comparative positioning to close the gap.
Key Findings & Recommendations
Strength: Strong review signals (4.8 Google, 4.5 Yelp) drive high Perplexity visibility. Validation queries perform well.
Gap: Google Search scores are lower due to missing structured data (no Restaurant schema, no AggregateRating markup).
Gap: Comparative queries underperform — the site doesn't clearly articulate differentiators vs. competitors.
Action: Add Restaurant + AggregateRating schema. Create an "About Our Omakase" page targeting informational and comparative queries.
