- Review profile completeness, categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A, and attributes.
- Benchmark your profile against local competitors and search results.
- Identify review, reputation, tracking, and conversion gaps.
- Prioritize fixes by likely impact, effort, and business value.

FAQ
GMB audit questions businesses usually ask first.
What does a GMB audit include?
It reviews categories, services, profile completeness, photos, posts, Q&A, reviews, competitors, tracking, and conversion paths.
Is this different from monthly GMB optimization?
Yes. The audit diagnoses what is wrong or missing. Optimization is the ongoing work of fixing, improving, and measuring the profile.
How long does an audit take?
A focused audit can usually be completed quickly once profile access, target services, locations, and competitor context are clear.
Will the audit include competitor examples?

Can my team implement the recommendations?
Yes. The action plan should be practical enough for your team to handle directly or use as the starting point for managed optimization.
