Small Business Checklist for Local SEO
This free marketing checklist quiz scores your business against the seven local SEO fundamentals we check first in every client audit, from your Google Business Profile to citations and review management. Answer seven yes/no questions and you’ll see your score instantly, plus a clear picture of which gaps to fix first.
It’s worth two minutes: 58% of companies don’t optimize for local search at all, according to ReviewTrackers research cited by Ahrefs. If that’s you, the quiz will show you exactly where to start. Built for Arizona service-area businesses (contractors, clinics, shops, and home services) but the checklist applies anywhere customers search “near me.”
Quiz Questions, Answered
How do I know if my business needs SEO?
If customers search for your service and find competitors instead of you, you need SEO. Quick test: search your service plus your city in an incognito window; if you’re not in the map pack or the first page, you’re losing leads daily. This quiz covers the seven fastest checks.
What does my quiz score mean?
Each “no” answer is a gap in your local SEO foundation. Five or more “yes” answers means your basics are solid and your next wins are content and authority. Three or fewer means foundational fixes (profile, listings, reviews) will produce the fastest results.
What should I do after the quiz?
Fix the gaps in order of impact: Google Business Profile first, then listings accuracy, then reviews. 80% of consumers say they’re likely to use a business that responds to all of its reviews, per BrightLocal research cited by Ahrefs.
