What’s in your free local search audit
It’s the same audit I run before taking on any client. Here’s what I check, and what you get back.
Your map grid
See where you rank on the map, street by street
I check where you appear on Google Maps from points right across your area, for up to five searches your customers use. Each number is your position from that spot.
- 1 to 3: in the top three
- 4 to 10: easy to miss
- 11+: not seen
Your rankings
Where you appear in Google search and on the map for the searches that matter to you.
Your Google profile
Your profile side by side with the top 10 on the map: photos, reviews, rating and category.
Your reviews
How many reviews you have, your average rating and what customers said most recently.
Your local listings
Whether you’re on the main UK directories, and any errors in your name, address or phone.
Links and authority
How much the web trusts your website, compared with your average competitor.
Your website
Up to 200 pages checked for speed, titles, headings, local details and broken links.
A real example
What the summary looks like
This is the summary from the audit I ran for Dunmow Double Glazing in August 2025, before I started working with them. It’s shared with their permission.
The first page gives every area a simple rating, so you can see at a glance where you’re losing ground. The pages after it show the detail behind each one.

Questions about the audit
Is the audit really free?
Yes. There’s no catch and no contract waiting at the end. If you’d like help afterwards, I’ll explain what that looks like. If not, the report is yours to keep.
What do you need from me?
Your business name, your town and the searches you’d like to show up for. It takes about two minutes. If you’re not sure which searches matter, I’ll suggest them.
How long does it take?
Your map grid and full report land in your inbox within 3 working days.
Will you try to sell to me?
No. The call is optional and it’s about your results. If you’d like my help, you can ask.
Which searches do you check?
Up to five that your customers actually use, such as “plumber near me” or “plumber in Basildon”.
