Free SEO audit for local businesses
Enter your website — nothing else. The audit reads up to 50 public pages of your site the way a search engine does (it respects your robots.txt and changes nothing), picks out your services and the area you serve, and then looks outward: whether you have a Google Business Profile, which local businesses Google Maps shows for your trade in your city, how many searches your site already shows up for, and which local keywords you could win, with real monthly search volumes. Finally it asks an AI assistant the question your customers ask — "Who is the best plumber in Austin?" — and checks whether your business is in the real answer. Every number comes from a measurement or a data provider; if a part cannot be checked in time, the result says so instead of guessing.
What the audit looks at
Your own pages (services, area, the technical basics), your Google Business Profile, local competitors on Google Maps with their stars and reviews, the searches you already rank for, local keyword chances with real volumes, and one real question to an AI assistant. The cards appear one by one as each check finishes.
What happens with the result
We store the website address you entered and what we found, including the public business details from the Google Business Profile (name, phone number, address), so the share link and your full report keep working. Your IP address is never stored in plain text, only as a one-way hash for abuse protection. If you create an account, the audit is attached to it and you see the full report.

Common questions
- Is the SEO audit really free?
- Yes. No account and no card. You see the summary right away; the full report comes with a free account.
- Does the audit change anything on my website?
- No. It only reads public pages, like a search engine, and skips everything your robots.txt asks robots to leave alone.
- Where do the search volumes and competitors come from?
- From a data provider that reports Google searches, rankings and Google Maps results. If that data is not available for an audit, the result says so instead of showing an estimate.
- Is the AI check real?
- Yes. We ask an AI assistant the question a customer would ask and look for your business in its actual answer. The result shows which assistant we asked.
- How long does it take?
- Usually under a minute. If a check takes too long, you get the rest right away and the full report fills the gap.
