On “near me” searches, competitors capture the calls that should be yours
When a prospect searches nearby, 3 businesses appear in Google Maps — and take the demand. The local visibility audit checks your Google profile, reviews, and local consistency for every location, then shows how to climb the local pack, where the buying decision happens.
The visible symptom is not the root cause
✓Symptom: you exist, but you don't appear in the Google Maps top 3.
✓Common cause: an incomplete or mis-categorized Google Business Profile.
✓Hidden cause: inconsistent NAP across directories, too few reviews, local signals too weak to enter the local pack.
What is a local visibility audit?
A local visibility audit evaluates everything that decides your local-search rank: Google Business Profile completeness and categorization, NAP consistency (name, address, phone) across directories, volume and freshness of geo-located reviews, and relevance on “near me” queries — then prioritizes the highest-impact fixes.

What we diagnose
✓Google Business Profile completeness and categorization: every field that decides your local rank.
✓Cross-directory NAP consistency: name, address, phone identical everywhere, or contradictory signals that penalize you.
✓Geo-located reviews: volume, freshness, average rating and response rate per location.
✓Local signals: proximity, relevance and prominence — the three pillars of local ranking.
✓“Near me” conversion: does your profile turn local search into a call, directions or visit?

Frequently asked questions about the local visibility audit
How long does the audit take?
The automated visibility audit is delivered in under 45 minutes, no credit card. The follow-up sequences the prioritized fixes: first local-pack gains typically show within 2 to 4 weeks.
Do you handle multiple locations?
Yes. Each location is audited and tracked individually, with a local-visibility score per outlet and a consolidated network view.
How is this different from a classic SEO audit?
Classic SEO targets national/organic ranking; local visibility relies on distinct signals — Google Business Profile, proximity, NAP consistency and reviews — that decide the local pack and “near me” searches.
Do I need to already have a Google Business Profile?
Not required: the audit starts from your current presence and shows what to create or fix first, including the profile itself if it's missing.
