Free 24-Hour Local SEO Audit — What You’ll Get

A realistic, fast snapshot of your local search presence—delivered within 24 hours of intake. This is a focused Local SEO audit, not a generic checklist.

Who this is for

  • Locations that suspect Google Business Profile (GBP) gaps, inconsistent NAP data, weak local pack visibility, or poor review signals.
  • Teams that want a prioritized, actionable to-do list before investing in a full Local SEO engagement.
  • Stakeholders who need a quick, credible read on local risk & opportunity.

What you’ll receive in 24 hours

A single, clearly written report (PDF/Doc), including:

  • Executive summary (1 page): top risks, top wins, and expected local impact.
  • Priority fixes (Top 10): what to fix, why it matters locally, and how to tackle it.
  • Quick wins (5–10): low-effort changes that can lift local pack visibility fast.
  • Google Business Profile audit: categories, services, description, photos, UTM links, attributes, products, posts, hours/holiday hours, messaging, Q&A health.
  • NAP & citations snapshot: name/address/phone consistency across key directories and duplicates (sample-based).
  • Local landing pages review (high level): content, internal linking, Core Web Vitals (mobile), local schema, map/embed usage.
  • Local relevance & proximity signals: coverage in target cities/ZIPs and “near me” intent fit.
  • Review & rating signals: volume/recency/velocity vs. top competitors; response cadence.
  • Local spam/risk check: competitor spam (stuffed names), your listing compliance/suspension risk.
  • Measurement setup: UTM standards for GBP links, call-tracking recommendations, conversion tracking sanity check.
  • Impact × effort matrix: recommended order of work for your team.
Typical output surfaces 20–40 actionable findings suitable for immediate implementation.

What we need to start

  • GBP link (public URL) and primary category (plus any secondary).
  • Business name, address, phone (exact format to use everywhere).
  • Service areas (cities/ZIPs) or store radius; number of locations included in this audit (up to ~5 within 24h).
  • Top 3–5 local queries you care about (e.g., “dentist near me,” “roof repair Chicago”).
  • Website domain and 3–5 key location/service pages.
  • Optional but helpful: read-only access to GBP, Google Search Console, and GA4.

How the 24-hour window works

  • When the clock starts

The 24-hour window begins only after we receive your complete intake and (if you choose to share it) read-only access. Complete intake = domain, GBP link, primary category, service areas/locations, top queries, 3–5 key pages, goals, and any constraints. If access arrives later, the 24-hour window starts when access is granted.

  • Business hours & calendar

We work Monday–Friday, 9:00–5:00 CT (Chicago) and observe U.S. federal holidays. Requests outside business hours start the next business day at 9:00 CT.

  • Rare delays (what could push delivery)

In unusual cases (e.g., GBP/GSC/GA4 outages, verification/suspension locks on GBP, WAF/CDN blocks preventing data collection, or force-majeure), we’ll notify you promptly, deliver core findings on time, and flag any items that need a short follow-up once systems/access recover.

Kickoff call (required): the 24-hour timer starts only after a 10–15 minute call to verify identity, align goals, and confirm scope/access.

What is out of scope

These require longer data collection, multi-location depth, or ongoing ops—doing them “halfway” in 24h risks incomplete or misleading guidance:

  • Full citation building/cleanup or aggregator submissions.
  • Review generation programs or outreach.
  • Multi-location deep audits beyond ~5 locations in one pass.
  • Large-grid rank tracking across many ZIPs (we provide a snapshot, not a citywide grid study).
  • Link outreach/off-page, PR, or local partnerships.
  • Content strategy and full copywriting for all location pages.
  • Implementation and dev changes (we provide steps; execution can be scoped separately).
  • Custom dashboards or long-form reporting beyond the items listed above.

Data sources & tools

  • Google Business Profile, Google Search Console, GA4.
  • PageSpeed Insights/Lighthouse (mobile), CrUX (if available).
  • Leading citation/checker tools and manual SERP/local pack reviews.

Assumptions & limitations

  • One brand and up to ~5 locations included in the 24-hour pass (larger accounts can be sample-audited or phased).
  • CrUX field data appears only when Google has enough traffic; otherwise we provide lab metrics.
  • Findings are a snapshot, not an exhaustive, full-scale audit.

Deliverables & format

  • One report (PDF or Google Doc) with screenshots, issue counts, and recommended fixes.
  • Prioritized task list you can paste into your tracker (Jira/Trello/Asana formatting on request).
  • Optional: 15-minute debrief call to walk through the highlights (scheduled after delivery).

Confidentiality

  • Access is read-only and revoked after the audit.
  • We can sign an NDA on request.
  • Any local copies of your data are deleted within 14 days of delivery.

After the free audit

  • You decide: run with the fixes internally, or ask us to scope implementation or a full Local SEO engagement.
  • No pressure, no contract—this is meant to help you move forward fast.
