Free report
A free local SEO report for your business, in about two minutes.
Type in your business name and an automated report shows how you appear in local search: where you rank, whether your listings carry the right details, how your reviews stack up and what your website and social profiles are signalling to Google. There is nothing to pay and no sales call unless you ask for one.
Enter your business name to begin
Search for your business exactly as it is named on Google. If it does not come up, try adding your town, or send us the details and we will run the report for you.
What it covers
Five things the report checks
Each area is reported separately, so you can see at a glance where you are strong and where you are losing ground.
Search rankings
Where your business appears for the searches that matter in your area, so you can see whether customers nearby are likely to find you or a competitor first.
Local listings
Whether the main directories and data sites show your business, and whether your name, address and phone number match. Mismatched details are one of the most common reasons a business slips down the map.
Reviews
How many reviews you have, your average rating and how recently people have left them, compared with businesses competing for the same customers.
Your website
The on-page basics search engines read: page titles, headings, contact details and how well the site works on a phone.
Social media
Whether your social profiles exist, link back to you and look active, which helps confirm to search engines that you are a real, trading business.
Reading your report
Where to start once it arrives
A report can list dozens of items. These four usually make the biggest difference, in this order.
1
Fix listing errors first
Wrong phone numbers, old addresses and duplicate listings confuse Google and customers alike. They are usually quick to correct and are the cheapest win in the report.
2
Look at the review gap
If competitors have far more recent reviews, closing that gap is often the fastest way to move up. Our guide to getting more reviews shows how.
3
Check your main services
Note which of your core services you rank for and which you do not. Gaps there usually point to missing website pages or the wrong Google Business Profile categories.
4
Then the website basics
Titles, headings and mobile speed rarely win on their own, but problems here hold back everything else. Our checklist of essentials covers what to have in place.
The missing piece
What an automated report cannot tell you
The report measures traditional local search. It cannot show what ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot or Google’s AI Overviews say when someone asks them to recommend a business like yours, and it cannot judge how hard your particular market is to win.
That is what our free visibility check is for. We look at where you appear on Google Maps and in AI answers for your main services, compare you with the businesses ahead of you, and tell you plainly what would help. Ask for a free visibility check →
FAQ
Questions about the free report
Is the report really free?
Yes. You do not need to buy anything or enter card details, and asking for a report does not commit you to anything.
How long does it take?
Filling in the form takes a minute or two. The report itself is put together automatically and is usually ready within a few minutes, although a full listings scan can take a little longer.
Why can’t the form find my business?
It finds your business from its Google listing, so enter your name exactly as it appears on your Google Business Profile and add your town if there are several matches. If you have no Google profile yet, that is the first thing to fix, and we can help.
Who is BrightLocal, and do they do the SEO work?
BrightLocal is a UK company that makes local SEO software. We use its reporting tool to produce this free report, and that is all BrightLocal provides: it does not carry out any SEO work and is not involved in our plans. The work our customers pay for is planned and managed by Grow With SEO. The details you enter in the form are passed to us so we can send your report and, if you want, talk you through it. Our privacy policy explains more.
Will I get a sales call?
No. We may send one short email asking whether you would like help with anything the report found. If you would rather we did not, just say so and we will not contact you again.
Does the report cover AI search?
No. It looks at Google rankings, listings, reviews, your website and social media. To see how AI assistants describe and recommend your business, ask us for a free visibility check.
Want the problems in your report fixed for you?
Our monthly plans work through everything the report finds, then keep you moving up the map and into AI answers. From £500/month, with no contract.
