In twelve questions.
Most Bay Area small businesses are leaking customers because their Google profile is half-baked, their reviews are stale, or their site has no local signals. Answer twelve quick questions and we'll show you exactly where you stand, with a prioritized list of what to fix first.
Tell us a bit about you.
Used only to personalize the report, nothing is saved on our servers and we don't ask for an email.
Is your Google Business Profile claimed and verified?
Search your business name on Google. If you see a panel on the right with your photos, hours, and reviews, and you can sign in to manage it, you're claimed. Not sure? Check at business.google.com.
How many photos are on your profile?
Google's own data shows businesses with 30+ photos get ~42% more direction requests. Count includes both owner-uploaded and customer photos. Open the profile on mobile to see the count quickly.
Have you posted on your profile in the last 30 days?
"Posts" are the short updates that show up under your profile, specials, events, news. Google rewards active profiles with better ranking and more click-throughs.
Are your services, products, or menu listed in detail?
Google has dedicated sections for services (e.g., "teeth cleaning"), products, or menus. Filling them out adds keyword surface area and is one of the most under-used GBP features.
How many Google reviews do you have?
25+ reviews is generally where you stop being filtered out of search results. 50+ is where you start outranking competitors. 100+ becomes a moat.
What's your average rating?
Below 4.0 hurts more than no rating at all. 4.5+ is where customers stop hesitating. 4.8+ is conversion gold.
How many new reviews did you get this month?
Review velocity matters as much as count. A 30-review business that gains 3 reviews a month outranks a 100-review business that's been stagnant for a year.
Does your website pass mobile-friendliness?
More than 70% of local searches happen on mobile. If your site requires pinching to read, you're invisible. Quick check: Google's mobile-friendly test.
Does your site load in under 3 seconds on mobile?
Every additional second past 3 doubles bounce rate. Quick check: PageSpeed Insights, paste your URL.
Does your site have local schema markup?
Structured data (JSON-LD) tells Google your business type, address, hours, and reviews, and unlocks rich results in search. Quick check: Google's Rich Results Test.
Are you listed on Yelp, Apple Maps, and Bing Places?
Each platform has its own discovery flow. Apple Maps is the default on every iPhone. Yelp still drives high-intent traffic for restaurants and pro services. Bing matters more than people think.
Are you listed on industry-specific directories?
Restaurants → OpenTable, Resy, TripAdvisor. Dentists → ZocDoc, Healthgrades. Lawyers → Avvo, FindLaw. Trades → Angi, Thumbtack. These directories often outrank your own website for "near me" searches.
