Action Plan

How to Improve Your Local Listings Score

1

Complete Your Google Business Profile (Up to 12 pts)

Add all categories, hours, photos (min. 10), services, attributes, and a keyword-rich description. Verified profiles with 100% completion rank 70% higher in local results.

2

Build Review Volume and Recency (Up to 10 pts)

Set up automated post-visit review requests. Target 5–10 new reviews per month. Respond to every review within 24 hours. Reviews from the last 90 days carry 3× more weight.

3

Fix NAP Inconsistencies (Up to 8 pts)

Audit your name, address, and phone number across 50+ directories and fix all inconsistencies. Start with the top 10: Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Apple Maps, Bing, Facebook, OpenTable, Foursquare, Zomato, Yellow Pages.

4

Build Citations on High-Authority Directories

Get listed on industry-specific directories (OpenTable, Resy, Eater, Zagat) and local directories (city guides, neighborhood blogs) to build citation authority.

5

Post Weekly on Google Business Profile

Regular GBP posts signal to Google that your business is active. Post about specials, events, and seasonal menus. Active profiles rank 40% higher than inactive ones.
