Tired of AI generated SEO audit reports? Workbench SEO’s free local SEO audit services help business owners understand how their website and Google Business Profile appear in local search and where to focus next.

Who this audit is for

This review is for businesses who are tired of the AI generated audit that takes 30 seconds to produce. Instead of a generic audit that anyone can produce, we have a dedicated team member review your business to its core in a way AI can not.

Local service businesses stand to benefit if they want a clearer picture of their search presence before deciding what to improve.

You might be seeing competitors appear for services you offer, struggling to reach customers beyond referrals, or unsure whether your website supports the places you serve. The audit gives you a starting point for those decisions.

What your local SEO audit covers

  • Google Business Profile: Business details, categories, services, and visible profile issues that deserve attention.
  • Website and service pages: How clearly your site explains your services and locations, along with content, internal links, and technical issues worth investigating.
  • Local searches and competitors: Dated examples of relevant search results, the businesses appearing in them, and differences worth examining.
  • Reviews, listings, and links: Your visible review profile, inconsistent business details, and relevant gaps in the information supporting your business online.
  • Next action steps: Prioritized recommendations based on the findings, with an explanation of what to address first and what needs further investigation.

Understanding local SEO

Local SEO is very different from other forms of SEO. Google and AI have no idea who the best electrician is in your area. Therefore, they need to source that information from properly built websites, landing pages, and other sources.

Workbench SEO specializes in getting Google and AI to see your website and services along with getting you into these sources.

Our promise to you

A dedicated team member walks through the report with you on a personal review call. The call covers:

  • A practical explanation of your local search presence and the next steps available to you.
  • The findings relevant to your business and the evidence behind each recommendation.
  • Priorities for improvement, your questions, and options for carrying out the work.

If you want help applying the recommendations, Workbench SEO can discuss its local SEO services with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the local SEO audit free?

Yes. The manual review and the call to discuss the report are free.

How is this different from an automated audit?

The manual review examines your business, services, locations, and competitors. We do use AI to help with our audits, but the ones typically being done by other companies are automated and don’t dive deep enough into the nuances that only a human can understand.

When will we review the findings?

Allow 48 hours for research once Workbench SEO has your website and business details. The review call is arranged with you by email.

Do I need to provide account access?

Account access is not required to request the initial review.

“Before they started Workbench SEO, Carmen and Alex helped me see the value in Google and marketing. I was 100% referral business before but I needed more volume. I didn’t realize how building a local brand and having leads come just from being online helped.”
