How to fix it
Add a JSON-LD block to the homepage with an @type of LocalBusiness — or the closest subtype, such as Bakery, Plumber or Dentist — carrying your name, address, telephone and url. Most content management systems have a plugin that generates it from settings you already filled in.
Why it matters
LocalBusiness structured data is how a site states, in a form a machine can read, that it represents a physical business with an address, a phone number and opening hours. It is the difference between being eligible for map results and rich listings, and being treated as an ordinary web page that happens to mention a city.
