What is the Local SEO Audit Tool?

The Local SEO Audit Tool checks whether a business page includes the core website signals needed for local visibility. It reviews contact details, location clues, LocalBusiness schema, Google Maps embeds, city mentions, metadata, social preview tags, and mobile readiness.

Local SEO is not only about a Google Business Profile. Your website still needs to clearly show who you serve, where you operate, how people can contact you, and whether the page matches the local search intent.

Best practices

Local SEO Best Practices

Keep NAP consistent

Your business name, address, and phone number should match across your website, Google Business Profile, and major citations.

Write locally useful content

Mention served areas naturally, but avoid repeating city names without adding helpful context.

Add structured data

Use LocalBusiness schema where it accurately describes the page and business details.

Make contact easy

Phone numbers, forms, maps, and contact links should be easy to find, especially on mobile.

Use unique location pages

If you serve multiple cities, avoid duplicate pages with only the city name swapped.

Match the searcher's task

A local service page should answer pricing, areas served, process, proof, and contact questions quickly.

Common Local SEO Mistakes

Hiding the phone number in an image or footer only
Creating thin city pages with duplicated copy
