Fix: Missing field "telephone" (LocalBusiness)

“Missing field "telephone"”

What this means

Your LocalBusiness schema has no phone number — recommended for local business rich data, and a common inconsistency point.

Why it happens

Phone number displayed on the page but never added to plugin settings — or worse, different numbers in different schema blocks.

How to fix it manually

Add "telephone": "+1-XXX-XXX-XXXX" to the business entity, matching the number visible on the page and your Google Business Profile exactly.
