What Our GBP Audit Covers
A GBP audit, also searched as a Google My Business audit, is the starting point before any optimization work.
Google ranks local results on relevance, distance and prominence and favors profiles that are complete and accurate. The audit measures how close your listing is to that standard. We review your business name, primary and secondary categories, service area, regular and special hours, services list, photos, posts and reviews, and record exactly what is missing, outdated or out of line with Google's rules.
Risk gets as much attention as opportunity. Sterling Sky's September 2026 review of suspension causes lists too many edits to key fields, no real presence at the listed address such as a PO box or virtual office, duplicate listings and a suspended account elsewhere at Google. Locksmiths, garage door companies and other spam-prone industries face extra scrutiny. We check your profile for each of these, flag any keywords added to the business name, which Google says can lead to suspension, and look for leftovers from features Google retired, like websites built inside GBP and the old Q&A section.
Then we line your profile up against the top three listings for your main searches. The comparison focuses on the factors Whitespark's 2026 expert survey rated highest, such as primary category, proximity, an address in the searched city and opening hours. We also look at review count, recency and replies, since BrightLocal's 2026 survey found 74% of consumers look at reviews from the last three months. Where a competitor ranks with a keyword-stuffed name, we note it as a possible spam report rather than something to copy.
The result is a written Google Business Profile audit with findings ranked by impact and risk, so you know what to fix first and what can wait. Each finding explains the reason behind it, in plain language. You can act on the report yourself, or DM. Digital can carry out the fixes through our GBP profile optimization service.
