A local SEO audit that ends in a to-do list, not a data dump

Sixty-plus checks across your Google Business Profile, website, citations, reviews, and the three competitors beating you — distilled into a prioritized plan where item #1 is the thing most likely to make your phone ring.

Five layers, one verdict per layer

Most SEO audits are 40 pages because they’re generated by software. Mine are organized around a simple question per layer: is this helping you rank, hurting you, or neutral? Every finding comes with severity, evidence, and the fix.

1. Google Business Profile

Category selection against live SERP data, completeness, photo quality and recency, post activity, Q&A state, review response rate, and policy risks that could trigger a suspension later.

2. Website local signals

Title tags and headings for your money pages, NAP presence and schema markup, location and service page structure, internal linking, mobile experience, and page speed where it’s actually costing you.

3. Citations & data consistency

Your name, address, and phone across the major aggregators and the directories that matter in your industry — every conflict, duplicate, and orphaned listing inventoried.

4. Reviews & reputation

Volume, velocity, rating trend, and keyword content of your reviews compared to the pack leaders — plus whether your review-request process is inside Google’s rules.

5. Competitors

The three businesses holding the Map Pack spots you want: their categories, review velocity, link sources — and which of their advantages you can copy in 90 days.
