What the health check examines
An audit is a structured look at every part of your profile against what a strong, competitive listing should have. It moves past 'looks fine' to a graded view of completeness, accuracy, and how you stack up against local competitors.
The point is prioritization. Instead of a vague sense that the profile could be better, you get a clear list of what's missing, what's misconfigured, and what will move the needle most.
- Completeness: hours, contact details, attributes, photos, description
- Categories: whether primary and secondary picks match your business
- Reviews: volume, recency, rating, and response consistency
- Content: posts, products, services, and photo freshness
- Compliance: name accuracy and anything that risks a suspension
- Ranking gaps: how you compare to competitors for key searches
What you get out of it
The deliverable is a plain-language diagnosis, not a data dump. You learn which issues are urgent, which are quick wins, and which are longer-term work, each tied to why it matters.
That turns guesswork into a plan. You can hand it to your team, use it to decide what to fix first, or have us handle the corrections. Either way, you know where you actually stand.
- A graded snapshot of your profile's current state
- Issues ranked by impact, not listed at random
- Quick wins separated from bigger structural fixes
- Category and compliance problems flagged clearly
- A prioritized action list you can execute or delegate

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the insights Google already shows me?
Google's built-in metrics tell you what happened (views, calls, direction requests). An audit tells you why and what to do about it, by evaluating your setup, categories, reviews, and competitive position against best practices. It's diagnosis and a plan, not just numbers.
Will the audit guarantee I'll rank first?
No honest audit can promise a specific ranking. Local results depend on many factors including proximity that no one controls. What the health check does is find and fix the things you can influence, so your profile is as strong and competitive as it can be.
Do I have to buy ongoing management to get the audit?
No. The health check stands on its own, and you're free to act on it yourself. Many businesses start with a free consultation to see whether a full audit is worth it before committing to anything more.
