Sample Audit

See what a Local Recommendation Audit looks like.

This sample shows how we translate Google, Maps, reviews, website structure, authority, and AI-readiness gaps into a plain-English 90-day action plan.

Example prospect

Example Roofing Co. in Dallas, Texas

The company is established, but competitors look more active and trusted in Maps and search results. The audit focuses on practical fixes that can support more inspections, estimates, storm calls, and replacement opportunities.

Overall score
62/100

Strong enough to build on, but not yet the obvious local choice. The biggest opportunity is connecting profile activity, review growth, service pages, city coverage, and trusted local proof.

Scorecard

What the audit reviews.

Each score is tied to a business question: can customers find you, trust you, and understand why they should call?

AreaScoreWhat it meansBusiness impact
Google Business Profile70Categories and reviews are decent, but service depth and recent activity are weak.Profile may look less active than competitors in Maps.
Reviews66Review count is useful, but recent velocity and service-specific language are inconsistent.Customers may not see enough fresh proof before requesting an estimate.
Website Structure55Core roofing pages exist, but storm, emergency, cost, and city coverage are thin.Google and AI tools have fewer clear pages to match to buyer intent.
Citations61Some listing inconsistencies create trust friction.Business data is not as clean and confidence-building as it should be.
Authority48Competitors have more local mentions and roofing-relevant links.The company lacks third-party validation that supports trust.
AI Readiness52Entity signals exist, but third-party proof and FAQ depth are limited.AI tools may be less confident recommending the business.
Top findings

The 3 priorities we would explain first.

Storm and insurance pages are underbuilt.

Storm damage buyers need help quickly. Dedicated pages can explain the process, build confidence, and support urgent search demand.

Service area coverage is too casual.

Target cities are mentioned, but not supported with useful pages that explain services, proof, and next steps in each market.

Local authority trails competitors.

The company needs more chamber, supplier, manufacturer, sponsorship, and local media validation to look like the trusted choice.

Recommendation

Recommended package: Silver.

At $1,997/month, Silver fits because the company has enough reputation to build on, but needs more pages, trust placements, citations, review replies, and Maps tracking to compete.

Why not Bronze?

Bronze would clean up the basics, but this market needs more content and more trust placements. The goal is to make the company more findable and more trusted across the Dallas metro, not just tidy up the profile.
