Local Authority Audit
A local SEO audit that shows what to fix first.
We look at your website, your Google Business Profile, your reviews, and how you show up in local and AI search. Those are the things people check before they decide who to call.

Before we recommend anything, we find where you’re losing people.
We think about it in five steps. You show up when people search. They trust you and pick you. You get back to them fast. You know what’s bringing in work. You stay ahead of the competition. That’s the Authority System. The audit finds the step where you’re losing people, because that’s where your first dollar should go.
Who this is for
You might recognize a few of these.
- Your website says one thing and your Google profile says another.
- People find you and still can’t tell why they should pick you over the business down the road.
- Your Google Business Profile was set up once and hasn’t been touched since.
- Reviews only come in once in a while, when somebody happens to remember.
- You’ve paid for marketing before and couldn’t tell what it got you.
What we look at

What you get
You get a written review and a short fix list.
At the end you get a plain, written local SEO audit report that says what’s working and what we’d change. It’s yours to keep whether you hire us or not.
The most useful part is the order. We tell you what to fix first and what can wait. A bigger company would have a marketing team making that call. Most local businesses don’t, and that’s where the audit helps.
Depending on what we find, that usually points to one or more areas: local search, your Google Business Profile, or website conversion, in the order that fits your business.
What it isn’t
A few things this audit is not.
- It’s not a sales pitch. You get the written read even if you never hire us.
- There’s no promise of rankings or leads. Nobody can honestly guarantee those.
- It isn’t an automated score. A real person looks at your business and writes it up in plain English.
- You won’t get a giant list of everything you could do. Just what matters for your business, in order.
