Local SEO audit FAQ
Is the local SEO audit really free?+
Yes. You see your score, map grid, competitor comparison and top fixes without signing up. Enter your email only if you want the full list of fixes.
Where does the data come from?+
From Google's own listing data for your business and the businesses around you, plus a scan of the website linked on your Google profile. We don't need access to your Google account.
What is a map rank grid?+
Google Maps results change depending on where someone searches. We run your category search from 25 points about three quarters of a mile apart and show your position at each point, so you can see where you show up and where you don't.
Why am I not in the Google Maps top 3?+
The biggest factors are distance from the searcher, how complete and active your Google Business Profile is, how many recent reviews you have compared with nearby competitors, and whether your website clearly says what you do and where.
How often should I run a local SEO audit?+
Once a month is enough for most local businesses. Rankings move as competitors get reviews and update their profiles.
Can Dexus fix the issues for me?+
Yes. Dexus Creative manages Google Business Profiles, reviews, local SEO and ads for local businesses across San Diego County and beyond.
