Score your own local ranking. The five factors, one page.
There's a Google patent describing how local businesses get scored for the map pack. It names five factors, and every one of them happens off your website.
We turned that patent into a scorecard you can fill in yourself in about twenty minutes. No tools required, no account, no call.
What's in it
- The five factors, in plain English, with the claim language for each
- How to score yourself on each one
- How to check the three businesses currently ranking above you
- The two-regime rule, which tells you whether you can rank in a town at all
- What to do about the factor you score worst on
Why we're giving it away
Because most businesses working on local SEO are working the wrong surface entirely, and a scorecard that shows them that is more persuasive than anything we could say about ourselves.
If you fill it in and discover you're fine, you've lost twenty minutes and we've lost nothing. If you fill it in and discover you're behind on reviews and mentions, which is what usually happens, then you know what to work on whether or not you ever speak to us.
Most businesses we audit are already ahead of their competitors on links and behind on reviews. Four of the five factors are earned off-site, which means local is closer to PR than to technical SEO.
What happens after you download it
You get the scorecard. That's it. Request it here, and we'll send it to the email you give us.
No call unless you ask for one, and no sequence designed to wear you down. An agency whose whole argument is that it tells you the truth cannot start the relationship by breaking a small promise on a download page.
