A Local SEO Audit Checklist You Can Run Yourself

A step-by-step self-audit covering your profile, citations, website and reviews — no tools required for most of it.

You do not need enterprise software to find the biggest problems on a local business's search presence. Most of them are visible in an hour with a browser and a willingness to look critically.

Profile check

Verify the primary category against top competitors, confirm every service is listed, check hours including holidays, and look at when the last photo and review arrived.

Citation and duplicate check

Search your business name, your phone number and your address in quotes. Note every inconsistency and every duplicate listing you find.

Website and conversion check

Load your site on a phone over cellular data. Is the phone number tappable without scrolling? Is it obvious what you do and where you do it? Does every service have a real page?
