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. Add 3 citations to outperform Handy's Home Services
+7 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0.0%, and Handy's Home Services is mentioned in responses, indicating strong local competition.
Do this: Search for local directories relevant to your trade. Register your business and submit NAP info to at least 3 directories like Yelp, Angie's List, or HomeAdvisor by next week. Budget 2-3 hours for this.
2. Create 3 local business profiles to match competitor volume
+6 pts
Why: Your citation count is 0 of 3 queries, while competitors like Hometown Handyman and Grand Valley Services get mentioned, showcasing their local presence.
Do this: Set up profiles on Google My Business, Yelp, and Facebook. Include updated photos, business hours, and service details. Allocate 4 hours for setup and verification.
3. Correct NAP across 3 platforms this week
+10 pts
Why: Citation accuracy is missing; ensuring consistency can increase credibility with search engines and potential customers.
Do this: Identify your current NAP details and check for discrepancies on Yelp, Google, and your website. Make corrections within 3 business days for a more reliable online presence.
4. Monitor competitor mentions in 5 future queries
+7 pts
Why: You have low competitive position (16.7%) against others like Quality Roofing Systems and River Valley Electric, indicating knowledge gaps in their reach.
Do this: Set up Google Alerts or a similar service for your competitors’ names. Analyze how they engage with local customers and adjust your strategy accordingly over the next month.
5. Document and track citation health monthly
+2 pts
Why: Structured data health is missing from your report; without monitoring, you’ll lack insight into your citation effectiveness.
Do this: Create a spreadsheet to log citation sources, accuracy, and updates monthly. This should take 1 hour to set up and require ongoing input each month.
6. Target 5 specific keywords in 3 reviews
+3 pts
Why: You should actively build credibility, as no reviews referenced your business; do not let competitors dominate local search.
Do this: Reach out to satisfied customers and request reviews to mention keywords related to your trade. Spend 30 minutes crafting an email request with a clear call to action.
7. Analyze citation numbers across 3 platforms by Q4
+2 pts
Why: As of now, you have no citations, which limits your visibility in local search results compared to competitors like Hometown Handyman.
Do this: By the end of Q4, pull data on citation numbers and track progress from previous months to see what worked. Allocate a total of 2 hours for this analysis.
