If your Google Business Profile isn’t fully optimized, you’re leaving money on the table. Customers searching “near me” are choosing competitors who appear higher in Maps — not because they’re better, but because their listings are clean and visible.

 

What Is a GBP Audit?

A structured review of your profile data, categories, reviews, photos, Q&A, and off-site listings.

Key takeaways:

Fix duplicates and category gaps to show up for the right queries.

Keep NAP/hours/services consistent across the web.

Turn engagement (calls, directions, messages) into trackable outcomes.

 

Why This Matters in 2025 and Beyond

 

Over 86% of consumers use Google Maps to find local businesses. By 2026, AI-driven search will surface GBP data even more heavily. Businesses with unoptimized profiles will simply disappear from local results.
