## What it checks

The cloud service classifies the site's overall type from a sample of crawled pages and reports the classification with a confidence score. This is informational - it never fails - but the detected type anchors other audit analyses: expected pages, content depth, and schema choices.

## Solution

If the classification looks wrong, the site's purpose may not be coming through to readers, search engines, or AI assistants. Sharpen the homepage value proposition, titles, and meta descriptions so the site's primary purpose is unambiguous.
