Question 1

What is a Google Business Profile audit?

Accepted Answer

It's an automated health check of your live GBP. We pull your public profile data from Google and score it against 21 signals that affect local-pack rankings — categories, description, photos, reviews, posts, hours, attributes, and more.

Question 2

Is this free? Do I need to sign up?

Accepted Answer

100% free, no signup, no email required. You get 1 full audit per device. For unlimited audits, competitor data, and an AI-generated fix plan, upgrade to the CopyRocket Local SEO Suite.

Question 3

How is the score calculated?

Accepted Answer

We weight the six most impactful signals measurable from a live GBP: category + verification (15 pts), description length (15), photo count (15), phone/website presence (10), review count (20), and average rating (25). Grades: A (90+), B (75+), C (60+), D (40+), F (below 40).

Question 4

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

Live Google Maps data pulled in real time through a professional SERP data provider. We only read public information — nothing private, no Google account needed.

Question 5

Why are some sections blurred?

Accepted Answer

The full premium report — the 21-signal breakdown, live competitor benchmark, and 5 priority fixes — is part of the CopyRocket Local SEO Suite. The free grade is enough to know where you stand; the Suite is where you fix it.

Question 6

Can I audit a competitor's profile?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Type any business name in the search box. You'll get their score the same way you got yours.

Question 7

How fast is the audit?

Accepted Answer

About 3–5 seconds. We make a single live call to Google's data, score your profile, and render the report.

Question 8

Will this tell me how I rank for a keyword?

Accepted Answer

The free audit doesn't run rank checks — use our free Local Rank Checker for a 49-point geo-grid scan. The full suite combines both into a single dashboard.

Question 9

Does the score update if I fix something?

Accepted Answer

Run the audit again in ~24 hours and you'll see the new score reflected. Google caches some changes for a day or two.

Question 10

What's in the paid Local SEO Suite?

Accepted Answer

Unlimited audits + automated weekly rank tracking, GBP post scheduling, review management (Google, Yelp, Facebook, Trustpilot in one inbox), citation building across 200+ directories, AI visibility tracking (ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude/Perplexity), and GBP protection from unauthorized edits.
