Google Business Profile Audit guide for local AI visibility

Google Business Profile Audit helps local businesses review public website signals. Use this guide for checking whether public profile facts are complete and consistent with the website. Findings are diagnostic estimates; a separate live query test is needed to report an AI mention or citation.

What this tool checks

Review the signals this tool can actually observe, such as public crawl rules, website text, structured data, or business details. A clean result does not prove that any AI engine has read, trusted, or recommended the business.

The REAL Method is an editorial checklist: describe the business, verify evidence, answer customer questions, and link to useful sources. It is not an engine scoring formula.

Launch workflow

Start with one business, one city, and one service. Review the tool output against the live site and select one verified issue to fix. Only publish a change with permission and a way to check the result.

After a website change, recheck the same page. To assess AI mentions, use the same documented prompts and compare dated answers; changes cannot be attributed to one edit without stronger evidence.

How it connects to paid plans

The free tool is a starting point. The $79 Automated SEO plan covers one authorized WordPress site with published monthly work limits, daily critical monitoring, a weekly crawl, and a monthly report. Managed Growth starts with a separately quoted human-managed SEO scope. AI visibility remains supporting evidence, not a promised outcome.

Common questions

What does the Google Business Profile audit look for?

It highlights profile categories, services, review cues, and public facts to check against the website. A checklist result does not measure whether an AI engine recommends the business.

Does my Google Business Profile affect AI recommendations?

Google advises keeping Business Profile information accurate for Search, including its AI features. We do not know how each third-party AI engine weights that profile, so compare public facts and test actual answers separately.
