Free Local SEO Audit: Instant Local Visibility Grade
A free, honest snapshot
A global tool for any local business, any trade, any city. No country default. We prioritise HVAC, plumbing, roofing, dental, electrical, legal, medical, med spa, landscaping, pest control and moving companies — and Other accepts every trade. Enter the service customers search for; if you know the Google Maps category, you can use it too. A category is a relevance signal, not a keyword. This is not a 49-point map pack audit. It checks three things a business owner can act on: your public review count compared with nearby competitors, your rating, and the basics of the page behind your listing.
A proximity-based public-data snapshot, not the rendered Google Maps local pack. No card. No rankings guarantee.
What the grade flags
- Review gap: your review count against the third most-reviewed nearby competitor.
- Website basics: title, meta description, H1 and indexability.
- Possible name stuffing: separators, stacked service keywords, “best,” “near me,” phone numbers or URLs in the public business name.
Google asks for the real-world business name. Adding services, cities, “best” or contact details can violate the guidelines and risk suspension or ranking suppression. The free grade flags the pattern; it does not decide intent.
What it does not do
- It does not measure the rendered Google Maps local pack at every point.
- It does not measure calls, bookings, revenue or close rate.
- It does not replace the 49-point Houston audit. The sample PDF linked under the form shows that paid shape: the 7×7 grid, review comparison, website layer and SWOT.
- It does not guarantee a ranking, a lead or a sale.
The free grade shows whether there is an obvious public-data gap worth investigating. The paid audit shows where the gap is, who is taking the calls and what to fix first.
