Free Local SEO Audit for Local and Service Businesses
Not a score out of a hundred from a tool. A person goes through your Google Business Profile, your citations and your map pack coverage across the area you actually serve, then tells you what is costing you calls and what to fix first.
24 hour turnaround. No obligation, and the audit is yours whether you hire us or not.
A Score Tells You Something Is Wrong. It Does Not Tell You What to Do.
There are plenty of free local SEO audit tools and some are genuinely useful. They are also automated, which means they check what a script can check and hand you a number. Here is the honest difference.
What an automated tool gives you
- A score and a list of red crosses
- Generic recommendations that apply to everyone
- A check of your own address, not your service area
- No idea which of the twenty issues actually matters
- Usually an upsell the moment you enter your email
What we give you
- A GeoGrid showing where you rank across your whole area
- The specific searches competitors are taking from you
- Your profile reviewed field by field by a person
- A prioritised list, in order, with the reason for the order
- An honest read on whether it is worth paying anyone
What the Audit Actually Covers
Six areas. These are the things that decide whether you appear in the map pack and whether people call you once you do.
Map Pack Coverage
A GeoGrid across your service area showing where you rank and where you are invisible, point by point.
Google Business Profile
Categories, services, description, attributes, photos and posts. Field by field, with what is missing or set wrong.
Citations and NAP
Where your business details are inconsistent across directories, and which of those are actually hurting you.
Reviews
Volume, recency, what they mention, how you respond, and how that compares to whoever is outranking you.
Competitors
Who holds the three pack for your money searches, and what they have that you do not.
Website Basics
Whether your site is helping or blocking local rankings. Service pages, location relevance and the obvious technical issues.
Three Steps and No Sales Process
A 30 minute call
We need to know what jobs you want more of and which suburbs you cover. Without that we would be auditing against the wrong target.
We do the work
24 hours. A person goes through the six areas above and writes up what they found in plain language.
We walk you through it
What to fix first and why. If the answer is that you can do it yourself, we will say so.
There is no second call, no proposal deck and no follow up sequence unless you ask for one. If the audit is useful and you want help, you already know where we are.
Why We Give It Away
Because it is the fastest way for both of us to find out whether this is worth doing. Most local businesses we audit have two or three specific problems, not twenty. Once we can see them, the conversation stops being a pitch and becomes a decision.
It also filters. Some businesses come out of the audit and the honest answer is that local SEO is not their bottleneck, or that their profile is already in decent shape and the money should go elsewhere. We would rather find that out in 24 hours than three months in.
And plenty of people take the audit and fix it themselves. That is fine. It costs us a few hours and it means the ones who do hire us already trust how we work.
Get an audit if
- Competitors outrank you and you do not know why
- You rank at your address but nowhere else
- Calls come in but they are the wrong jobs
- You are paying an agency and cannot tell what you are getting
- You are about to hire someone and want a second opinion first
Questions About the Audit
Is the audit really free?
Yes, and there is no card, no trial and no tool signup. It costs us a few hours. The reason it is free is that it is the fastest way for both of us to find out whether working together makes sense.
What do you need from me?
A 30 minute call so we know which jobs you want and which areas you cover, and manager access to your Google Business Profile if you want the profile reviewed properly. You keep ownership and you can remove access at any time.
How long does it take?
24 hours from the call. It is done by a person, so it is not instant, but it is a document you can act on rather than a score.
Will you try to sell me a retainer afterwards?
We will walk you through what we found and tell you what we would do. If you want a plan we will quote one. There is no follow up sequence and no second call unless you ask for it.
Can I take the audit to another agency?
Yes. It is written to be handed to anyone. If you take it somewhere cheaper and they fix it properly, you got the outcome you wanted, which is the point.
What if the audit says I do not need help?
Then that is what it says. It happens. Sometimes the profile is already in reasonable shape and the bottleneck is somewhere else entirely, like capacity or pricing. We would rather tell you that than take a retainer.
Do you audit businesses outside the US?
Our work is focused on US local and service businesses. That is where our process and reporting are built.
What happens if I do want to work with you?
Plans start at 299 dollars a month with no setup fees and no long term contract. The audit becomes the first month of work, so nothing gets repeated or re-billed.
