Is the check free?
Yes. The check and the listing are both free. We only charge if you ask us to fix something for you, and you get a quote before anything starts.
How long does the report take?
It arrives by email within one business day. Our team runs each check and reads it before it goes out.
What does the check look at?
Your Google Business Profile, Apple Maps, Bing Places, Yelp, Foursquare, the main Australian directories and industry sites, the structured data on your website, your licence or registration and your ABN. It also asks six AI assistants about your key service in your suburb and counts how often they name you.
How is the score out of 100 worked out?
Six areas add up to 100: maps and search 30, AI answers 20, the same details everywhere 15, reviews 15, directories and industry sites 10, website and social 10. The report shows the points lost on every line.
Do I need a website?
No. A website adds points, but your listing page works without one. It carries your services, hours, areas and prices in a form Google and AI assistants can read.
Will someone call me after the check?
Only if you ask. We email the report. We call only if you ask us to fix something or request a quote.
Do I need to connect my Google profile?
Not for the check. The score comes from what customers and AI assistants can see. Connecting your Google Business Profile is the quickest way to claim your listing, and it adds the numbers only you can see, like calls and direction requests from Google.
