Local SEO is the fastest lever most founders miss. If your page does not name the city, does not have a phone number and is not connected to a Google Business Profile, you are invisible in the Map Pack.
This tool checks the boring fundamentals: is the city in your title and H1, do you have a phone and address, is there LocalBusiness schema, is there an embedded map, and does the business actually exist on Google Maps.
Where this tool actually helps
Auditing a new city landing page
Confirm the page is targeting the right city before you send traffic to it.
Before claiming a Google Business Profile
Fix your on-page NAP first. Google will match your GBP against it.
Diagnosing a Map Pack drop
Missing schema and generic titles are usually the culprit.
How to read the result
Aim for 8+ green checks. The GBP block confirms Google actually knows you exist under that name in that city, which is the single biggest local ranking signal.
Common mistakes we see
- Reusing the same city page template across 10 cities with only the H1 changed. Duplicate content hurts.
- Hiding NAP in an image. Google cannot read it.
- Skipping LocalBusiness schema. Every local page needs it.
- Assuming a GBP is optimized because it exists. Rating, review count and category matter.
FAQs
- Which businesses does this help most?
- Clinics, salons, restaurants, retail, service providers with a physical or service-area location.
- Does this scrape my GBP directly?
- It uses Google Places to confirm the profile exists and pull the public rating and review count.
- What if my business is not on Google yet?
- Set up your Google Business Profile first, then rerun this tool.
A note from Nimitt
A tool gives you a number. A person tells you what to do with it. If you want a straight answer on your site, send it over. I read every one myself.
