Local SEO Audit
A local SEO audit checks why your business does or does not appear in Google Maps and the local pack for searches near you. It covers your Google Business Profile, categories, reviews, business listings across the web, your location pages and where you actually rank street by street, then ranks the fixes by impact.
Prices shown are starting points. The final cost depends on the size and scope of your project, and we confirm it in writing before any work begins.
Local rankings are decided by a short list of things: how relevant your profile looks for the search, how close you are to the searcher, and how prominent your business looks across Google and the web. Most of those are visible, which means most of what is holding you back can be found.
The common findings are dull and fixable: the wrong primary category, a business name or phone number that differs between listings, a profile with few recent reviews and no replies, a website with no page for the area you want to rank in, and ranking checked from the office instead of from where customers search.
You get the findings ranked by impact, the fixes we can do and the ones only you can do, such as asking customers for reviews.

Audit completion letter
A dated letter from us stating what we checked, how and the result. It records our work. It is not a certification.
Is there a certificate for this?
No. Google does not certify businesses for local rankings. A badge sold as one is the seller's own mark. What counts is where you appear on Maps, and we measure that before and after.
Questions people actually ask
Do you need access to my Business Profile?
Not for the audit. Everything we check is public. Access helps later if you want us to make the fixes.
Can you guarantee I will rank in the Maps pack?
No. Nobody can. Distance from the searcher is a big factor and nobody controls it. The audit shows what you can control and how much of it is missing.
I have several branches. Is it one audit?
Each location has its own profile and its own rankings, so the price is per location. Branches share findings, so later locations cost less to fix.
