A 20-minute local SEO check you can do yourself

Before you pay anyone, run this quick self-audit. It shows the biggest gaps holding your local ranking back.

You don't need a tool or a consultant to find your biggest local SEO problems. Twenty minutes and a phone will surface most of them. Run through this and you'll know whether your foundation is solid or quietly costing you customers.

Search yourself like a customer would

Open Google in a private window and search your main service plus your town. Are you in the map pack? On page one? Nowhere? That single search tells you where you really stand before any tool does.

Check your Google profile

• Is it claimed and verified?
• Right category, full hours, recent photos?
• When was your last review, and how many do you have?
• Are questions and reviews answered?

Check your details everywhere

Search your business name and look at the listings that come up. Do the address and phone match your website exactly? Note every place they don't. Those mismatches are likely dragging you down.

Check your website basics

Does it load fast on your phone? Does it say your town and services in plain words? Is your phone number tappable? These small things decide whether a visitor becomes a call.

Turn the list into action

Every gap you found is a fix that lifts your ranking. If you'd rather have someone run the full audit and handle the fixes, that's exactly what we do. Want the thorough version? Grab a free audit.
