2. Get listed on the sources AI actually reads
The first block is where the engines looked when answering about you. Fix those first - same name, address, phone everywhere. Then work the universal backbone.

3. Your 7-step climb playbook
1. Create 3 unique citations for HomeAdvisor now
+7 ptsWhy: Citation rate is 0.0% across all queries, a critical issue for local visibility.
Do this: Identify three local directories or citation sites relevant to trade businesses. Create accounts, submit business details, and include consistent NAP information. Expect to spend about 4 hours on this to kickstart your citation presence.
2. Mention Davis Plumbing in 5 blog posts next month
+6 ptsWhy: Competitor Davis Plumbing was mentioned in 1 out of 3 queries, indicating brand recognition you need to combat.
Do this: Write five blog posts focused on plumbing tips or local issues, strategically mentioning Davis Plumbing to show relevance. Schedule these posts weekly to build content, totaling about 6 hours.
3. Get 5 reviews for plumbing by next week
+10 ptsWhy: No reviews found in the audit, and reviews are crucial for acquiring citations in the algorithms.
Do this: Reach out to past customers and ask for reviews on Google and Yelp. Use a text or email campaign to encourage quick responses, committing no more than 2 hours into securing these reviews.
4. Add local keywords to 10 web pages this month
+7 ptsWhy: Your site lacks local keyword engagement, directly impacting search result placements in the GI area.
Do this: Use a keyword tool to identify 10 relevant local terms related to trade services. Update existing service pages to incorporate these keywords, outlining about 5 hours overall for research and content updates.
5. Post 4 updates about Glen St. Mary Roofing this quarter
+2 ptsWhy: Competitor Glen St. Mary Roofing was mentioned in 1 response, indicating neighborhood engagement that you’re currently missing.
Do this: Use social media to create content that highlights local industry developments, including news about Glen St. Mary Roofing. Spend about 5 hours crafting posts over three months to stay relevant and visible.
6. Ensure 3 citations mention Ginqstllwe Plumbing Solutions
+3 ptsWhy: Ginqstllwe Plumbing Solutions was identified as a competitor, and absence in citations weakens your local standing.
Do this: Find directory sites where your competitors are listed and submit your business information. This should take around 3 hours to gather relevant sites and complete the submissions.
7. Collect and review citation data monthly moving forward
+2 ptsWhy: No citation presence was recorded, meaning continual monitoring is needed to track improvements and changes in strategies.
Do this: Set up a simple spreadsheet to track citation submissions and any earned citations monthly. Allocate 1 hour to establish the system and 30 minutes monthly for upkeep.
