Get your audit score and fixes

We run 11 weighted checks, score each category, and give you a prioritized list of what to fix first.

What this free Google Business Profile audit checks

Every GBP audit covers the three dimensions Google weighs hardest in the local pack: profile completeness, reviews, and category accuracy. Here's the check-by-check breakdown.

Profile completeness

Business name, phone, website, hours, and photos — the core GBP fields that feed Google's Profile Strength indicator.

  • Business name present and consistent
  • Phone number for tap-to-call
  • Website URL on the listing
  • Regular opening hours published
  • Photos: count and coverage

Reviews and reputation

Review volume, average rating, and recency — the single strongest non-proximity ranking signal in the local 3-pack.

  • Total review count vs the 10 / 50 trust thresholds
  • Average rating against the 4.5-star local-pack benchmark
  • Recent review activity (last 90 days)

Category and description

Primary category is the single biggest on-profile ranking lever. Secondary categories and description depth broaden what you rank for.

  • Primary category specificity
  • Secondary category coverage
  • Business description length and keyword fit

Google Business Profile audit: frequently asked questions

Is this Google Business Profile audit tool really free?+

Yes. The audit itself is free — no credit card, no trial. To run it you'll sign in with Google (read-only access to the Business Profile you own) and verify your email once. After that you can run up to 3 audits per day. It's built by Wiremo as a lead-gen tool for our GLocal GBP management product, but the audit itself is yours to keep.

Does this also audit Google My Business listings?+

Google renamed Google My Business to Google Business Profile in 2022, but the underlying profile is the same. Whether you search for it as GMB or GBP, this tool audits the identical data.

What exactly does the audit score measure?+

Eleven weighted checks across three categories — profile completeness (40 pts), reviews (40 pts), and categories/description (25 pts) — roll up into a 0-to-100 score with a letter grade (A through F).

How accurate is the GBP audit data?+

We pull live data from the official Google Places API (v1), the same source Google Maps uses. A handful of signals (owner response rate, posts cadence, attribute completeness) aren't exposed by the public API; those are covered in the full email report.

Will running this audit change anything on my Google Business Profile?+

No. This is a read-only audit. We don't sign in to your GBP, we don't post, and we don't modify any of your listing data.

How is this different from a paid local SEO audit?+

A paid Google Business Profile SEO audit typically adds geo-grid rank tracking, competitor heatmaps, and citation checks. This free tool covers the on-profile fundamentals that almost every paid audit starts with.
