Local SEO audits

Find out exactly why you are not ranking

A local SEO audit is a full diagnosis of your Google presence: where you rank, why competitors beat you, and the shortest path to the map pack. No 40-page PDF, just a prioritised plan you can act on.

Why it matters

Why most audits don’t help

Most audits hand you a 40-page PDF full of jargon and vanity metrics, then leave you to work out what matters.

Ours answers three questions: where you rank today across your service area, what the businesses above you are doing differently, and what to fix first. You keep the plan whether you work with us or not.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a local SEO audit cost?

It depends on how many locations and services you have. A single-location trade business is straightforward, and we quote a fixed price before we start. Book a call and we will give you a number.

How long does it take?

Most audits are back within five to seven business days. Multi-location businesses take a little longer because we grid each area separately.

Will you try to sell me a retainer?

We will tell you what we would do and what it costs. Plenty of people take the plan and run with it themselves, and that is fine.

What do you need from me?

Access to your Google Business Profile and analytics if you have them, plus ten minutes to tell us which jobs and areas matter most.
