By finding type

Pick the finding matching yours:

📍 Fix NAP inconsistency LIVE

Name, Address, Phone must match exactly everywhere — your site, GBP, directories, social. Variations Google reads as separate businesses. Audit, normalise, push corrections to aggregators.

📚 Fix missing citations LIVE

Citations on Yell, Yelp, FreeIndex, Bing Places, Apple Maps, industry-specific directories. The Tier-1 vs Tier-2 vs spam-citation hierarchy. The aggregator approach via Whitespark / BrightLocal.

🏛️ Fix LocalBusiness schema gaps LIVE

LocalBusiness with full address, geo coordinates, opening hours, areaServed. The schema-type subclass for your specific business (Restaurant, Plumber, Dentist). What Google reads for the Knowledge Panel.

⭐ Fix low review velocity LIVE

Reviews per month matter as much as total count. Velocity below 1/month signals stagnation. The legitimate review-request patterns, the timing within customer journey, what NOT to do (incentives, fake reviews).

🗺️ Fix map-pack invisibility LIVE

You rank organic page 1 but not in the map pack. The map-pack signals: proximity, relevance, prominence. Fixing each — and accepting that proximity is fixed by your physical location.

📝 Fix geo-targeted content gaps LIVE

City pages, neighbourhood pages, service-area landing pages. The duplicate-content trap when scaling to many locations. The unique-content-per-page requirement and how to make it sustainable.

🚗 Fix service-area coverage LIVE

For mobile/service-area businesses without a fixed address. The GBP service-area setting, the per-postcode page strategy, when it crosses into duplicate-content territory.

🏬 Fix multi-location SEO LIVE

5+ locations need a store-locator, individual location pages, GBP per location, citation strategy at scale. The brand-consistency vs location-specificity balance.

By platform

Local SEO patterns by business type:
