Unlock the Full Potential of Your Google Business Profile with a Comprehensive Audit

Your Google Business Profile (GBP), formerly known as Google My Business (GMB), is one of the most powerful tools for local businesses to attract customers. However, an incomplete or improperly optimized profile can significantly hinder your visibility and performance. At LocalBizzSEO, our GMB Profile Audit service dives deep into your profile’s setup and performance, identifying areas for improvement so that you can dominate local search results.

What is a GMB Profile Audit?

A GMB Profile Audit is a thorough review of your business’s Google profile, focusing on all the elements that influence local rankings and user engagement. Our experts analyze every aspect of your profile, ensuring that it complies with Google’s guidelines and is fully optimized for maximum visibility, relevance, and accuracy. This audit is essential for identifying gaps or issues that could be preventing your business from reaching its full potential.

Key Elements We Review in a GMB Profile Audit

Our audit covers all critical areas of your Google Business Profile:

1. Business Information Accuracy: We check that your business name, address, phone number (NAP), and operating hours are accurate, consistent, and comply with Google’s guidelines. Inaccuracies here can hurt your rankings or even lead to suspensions.
2. Category Optimization: Selecting the correct primary and secondary categories for your business is crucial for ranking in relevant searches. We ensure that your categories align with your services and target audience.
3. Keyword Usage: While keyword stuffing is against Google’s policies, ensuring that your profile naturally includes relevant terms is vital. We analyze your business description and services to ensure appropriate, effective keyword usage.
4. Location and Service Areas: Properly setting your service areas ensures that your business shows up in searches where your services are offered. We audit these to ensure they are correctly configured and aligned with your target locations.
5. Review Strategy: Customer reviews are a major factor in local rankings. We analyze your current review management strategy and provide insights on how to attract more positive reviews and handle negative feedback effectively.
6. Photos and Media: Visual content such as photos of your storefront, team, and products plays a significant role in customer engagement. We review the quality, quantity, and relevancy of your photos to ensure they attract potential customers.
7. Posts and Updates: Regularly posting updates, offers, and events on your GMB profile keeps your audience engaged and can improve your profile’s performance. We analyze your current posting strategy and suggest improvements.
8. Google Maps Visibility: We examine how well your business is performing on Google Maps, including proximity factors and visibility in local searches.
9. Performance Insights: We analyze your profile’s data from Google’s insights, such as views, clicks, and direction requests. This helps us identify which elements are working and which need improvement.
10. Competitor Benchmarking: We compare your profile’s performance to that of your local competitors, identifying opportunities for gaining a competitive edge.
