What the audit looks at.

Every audit covers the same six areas, checked by hand for your market. Scroll through them to see where each one lands in the report.

  • Local ranking analysis

    Where you rank for the searches that matter most to your business, in regular results and the map pack.

  • Competitor comparison

    Who outranks you locally and what they do differently. “Plumber in Portland” and “plumber in Bangor” are different races, so your market sets the bar.

  • Speed & mobile check

    Load time, Core Web Vitals and how the site works on a phone, where slow pages and buttons that are hard to tap get in a customer’s way.

  • On-page SEO review

    Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure and internal links: the technical details most businesses overlook.

  • Google Business Profile

    Often the first thing a customer sees. I check it for completeness, accuracy and missed opportunities.

  • Prioritized action plan

    Not a generic checklist. A ranked list of fixes for your business, ordered by impact, so you know where to start.

Example audit notes

What you get back.

A written report by email, in plain language, that you can act on with or without me. Here is what it covers.

  • Where you show up today

    The searches you care about, checked by hand, with where your website and your Business Profile appear, map results included. Name the searches you want to win, or I will start with the obvious ones for your trade and town.

  • Who shows up instead

    The two or three businesses that appear above you, and what their pages and profiles have that yours do not: services named plainly, towns listed, reviews and real photos.

  • What is broken on the site

    Technical problems, each tied to the pages it affects: missing or repeated page titles, pages Google is not indexing, slow pages on a phone, broken links and contact paths that do not work.

  • Fixes in priority order

    Each fix with why it matters and roughly how much work it is, so you can start at the top and stop wherever you like.

  • What you can do yourself

    Plenty of fixes, like correcting your hours or adding photos to your profile, take minutes. I mark those, so you can make them without paying anyone, me included.

  • No ranking promises

    The report says what is likely to help and why. It does not promise a position on Google or in AI answers, because nobody honestly can.

This audit isn’t a software printout. I read your site, your competitors and your Business Profile, then write down what to fix first.

Who this audit is for.

If any of these sound like you, the audit was built for your situation.

  • Small business owners

    You have a website but are not sure it brings in customers. You want to know what works before spending money on marketing.

  • Contractors and local service providers

    Plumbers, electricians, landscapers, cleaners, roofers: you want more of the right jobs in the places you actually work.

  • Anyone burned by SEO before

    Maybe you paid an agency and saw nothing, or tried it yourself and lost track of what mattered. This is a second opinion, in plain view.

  • Owners who just want answers

    No sales pitch. Someone looks at your site, tells you what is wrong and explains how to fix it.
