GMB Audit for Local SEO: Find Out What’s Holding You Back

A Google Business Profile Audit identifies hidden issues holding back your local SEO. From ranking factors to competitor insights, we give you a clear action plan to improve visibility and attract more customers in Southampton.

Many local businesses try to save money by doing it all themselves—setting up their profile, posting updates, and asking customers for reviews. Kudos for the effort.

But here’s the thing…

Need a haircut? Well, don’t ask me. You probably wouldn’t like the result.
Need plumbing? Well, don’t ask me. Your tap will still be leaking.

So why DIY your Google Business Profile? Let us handle it professionally and give you the results you’re looking for

What’s Included in Our Google Business Profile Audit

Our comprehensive Google Business Profile Audit is a deep-dive analysis of your profile’s performance. We examine every ranking factor affecting your visibility in Google Maps and local search results.

You’ll receive a detailed report showing exactly where you stand against competitors and what needs fixing to improve your rankings. No guesswork—just clear, actionable insights from experts in GMB SEO audits based on Google’s local search algorithm.
This isn’t a basic checklist. It’s a professional assessment that uncovers hidden issues stopping potential customers from finding your business online.

Why a Google Business Profile Audit Matters

93% of local searches show Google Maps results—but only the top 3 businesses get most of the clicks. If you’re not ranking well, you’re missing out on customers who are actively looking for your services.

An audit pinpoints the specific problems affecting your visibility:

• Missing or weak optimisation signals
• Competitor advantages you didn’t know about
• Technical issues hurting your rankings
• Opportunities for quick wins

The result? Better local rankings, more visibility, and increased phone calls from customers in Southampton and surrounding areas.
