The Local Scorecard

A score for how easily nearby customers find you, with your fixes in order

Answer twenty quick questions about your map listing, your reviews, your website and everywhere else customers look, and get a score for each area and a fix list that starts with what moves calls and bookings most.

Score your business
  1. Your map listing

    For a search like “plumber near me” or “nail salon in Dayton”, Google often shows a map and a few business profiles above the websites, and customers call, get directions and read reviews right there.

  2. Your reviews

    Your star rating and review count sit beside your name in the map results, and recent reviews are often what a customer reads before choosing who to call.

  3. Your website

    Many customers tap through from your listing to see your work, check what you charge and decide, often on a phone, and your site’s job is to turn that visit into a call or a booking.

  4. Everywhere else customers look

    Customers also find you on Apple Maps and Bing, in directories and on social media, and come back through their inbox; every place that shows an old number or a dead page sends someone elsewhere.
