Answer honestly. Nobody sees it but you.

  1. Is your Google Business Profile set up and verified?

    It's the free listing that puts you on Google Maps and in local results.

  2. Do you have your own website with a page for each main thing you do?

    One page per service lets customers and search engines see exactly what you offer.

  3. Are your business name, address (or service area), phone and website identical everywhere they appear?

    Google, Yelp, Bing, your website and your social pages should all agree.

  4. Can a visitor call you or ask for a quote in one tap from any page?

    A clear phone number or quote form on every page, especially on a phone.

  5. Does your website load quickly and read well on a phone?

    Most local searches happen on a phone. Try yours on one now.

  6. Is your website and domain name registered in your name, with the logins in your hands?

    If a designer holds the only login, you are renting your own website.

  7. Do you use email on your own domain, such as [email protected], rather than Gmail or Hotmail?

    It looks more established and helps your messages reach inboxes.

  8. Do your website and Google profile show real photos of your work or your business?

    Real photos build trust faster than stock images or none at all.

  9. Do you ask happy customers for reviews, and reply to the ones you get?

    Recent, answered reviews are one of the first things people check.

Why these nine

They’re the things local customers check before they call: whether you show up on the map, whether your details agree everywhere, whether the site works on a phone, and whether you look established. None of them is a trick. Most are free to fix.

If you’d like the full picture of how a profile and a website fit together, read website versus Google Business Profile, or go straight to the Google and Yelp setup guide.

Common questions

No. The scorecard runs in your browser, shows your score straight away, and asks for nothing.

No. Your answers stay in your browser and are gone when you close the page.

No. It's a quick self-check of the basics that help customers find and trust a local business. It doesn't test your site's technical performance, and it can't predict where you'll rank.

It shows how many of the nine basics you already have. The list of fixes puts the most useful first, and each one links to a free guide that explains how.
