Free Local SEO Audit Scorecard

Answer 16 quick questions about your Google Business Profile, reviews, listings, website and tracking, and see why nearby customers might be choosing a competitor, with a clear fix for each gap. It takes about three minutes, needs no login, and your answers stay on this page unless you ask for a review.

Google Business Profile

Is your Google Business Profile claimed and verified?

An unverified profile can't be fully managed, often shows outdated details and is easy for someone else to edit.

Is your primary category the most specific one for your main service?

The primary category is one of the strongest signals for which local searches you appear in.

Are your services, opening hours (including holiday hours), service area and description complete?

Incomplete profiles lose customers who check hours or services before calling, and give Google less to match against searches.

Have you added new photos or updates to your profile in the last 30 days?

Recent photos and updates show customers the business is active and give them a reason to choose you.

Reviews

Have you received new Google reviews in the last 30 days?

Customers compare how many reviews you have and how recent they are. A profile with no recent reviews looks less active than competitors.

Do you reply to every review, including negative ones?

Replies show future customers how you treat people, and a calm, helpful reply to a complaint can matter more than the complaint itself.

Do you have a routine for asking customers for reviews, without offering discounts or gifts in return?

Reviews come from asking consistently. Offering incentives for reviews breaks Google's policies and can get reviews removed.

Listings and consistency

Are your business name, address and phone number identical on your website, Google, Justdial, Facebook and other listings?

Conflicting addresses or numbers confuse customers and weaken the signals search engines use to trust your location.

Are you listed on the main directories for your city and industry?

Accurate listings on trusted directories help customers find you and reinforce your business details.

Website

Does your website have a page for each main service (and each area you serve, if you serve several)?

A single home page can't rank for every service and area. Dedicated pages give searchers and Google a clear match.

Does your website clearly show your address or service area, phone number and a map or directions?

Local customers want to know you're nearby and how to reach you before they call.

Does your site load quickly on a phone and have tap-to-call and WhatsApp buttons?

Most local searches happen on phones. A slow page or a number people can't tap loses customers who were ready to call.

Does your website use LocalBusiness structured data with the same details as your Google profile?

Structured data helps search engines read your business name, address, phone and hours reliably.

Tracking

Do you check how many calls, direction requests and website clicks your Business Profile gets each month?

The profile's performance report shows whether local visibility is turning into real actions.

Are calls and enquiries from your website tracked, with the source of each one recorded?

Without tracking you can't tell whether customers came from Google, ads, social media or word of mouth.

Do you know which searches people use to find your business on Google?

The searches customers use show which services and areas to strengthen on your profile and website.
