Local SEO — Free audit

A free local SEO audit, walked through with you.

Find out exactly why you are or aren’t showing up when nearby customers search. We audit your Google Business Profile, map rankings across your service area, reviews, listings, website and AI visibility, then walk you through the findings on a 30-minute call. No 40-page PDF, no jargon: just what’s holding you back and what to fix first.

01 — Why an audit

Most local businesses don’t know why they’re invisible.

Why we review it live

Local rankings depend on many small things: your categories, your reviews compared with competitors, inconsistent listings, a slow mobile site, missing service pages. Each one looks minor. Together they decide whether customers call you or the business down the street.

Automated audit tools produce long reports that rarely get read, and they miss context only a person can see. So we prepare your audit by hand and walk through it with you live, answering questions as we go.

You leave the call with a clear, prioritized list of fixes, whether you work with us or do it yourself.

02 — What's included

01 — Google Business Profile

02 — Map pack rankings

Where you show up, street by street.

Your visibility for your main services across your service area, compared with the businesses that outrank you.
