What's on the plate

Every problem, ranked by what to fix first.

  • Rank grid scan across your service area for your main services
  • Technical site crawl: speed, indexing, errors and mobile issues
  • Google Business Profile teardown
  • Review, citation and backlink comparison with your top three competitors
  • AI visibility check across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews
  • Prioritized fix list with effort and expected impact
  • Walkthrough call with Chris

Before we cook anything, we taste what is already in the pot. The audit shows exactly where you stand and why your competitors outrank you, in plain English.

You get a prioritized fix list you can hand to anyone. Many owners use it to fix the quick wins themselves. If you want us to handle it, the audit becomes the first step of your plan.

Is the audit really free?

The Heat Check and the quick review Chris does from your ticket are free. If you want the full audit with the rank grid and walkthrough, we scope it with you on the call.

What do I need to give you?

Your website, your main services and the areas you serve. Access to Google Business Profile and Search Console helps but is not required.

Can I use the findings with another agency?

Yes. The fix list is yours to keep and use however you like.
