The outlined center is the business reference point. These are two of the six 7 × 7 grids in the PDF; the 5.4% and 75.2% summaries use all 294 observations. The sample uses one-mile spacing with no real coordinates. Location and competing businesses can affect visibility; a missing service page alone does not explain the pattern.

FROM EVIDENCE TO ACTION

Three gaps.
Three useful decisions.

Every finding should explain what we saw,
why it may matter, and what to do next.

01 / MAKE CONTACT DETAILS CONSISTENT

One business. One correct phone number.

Sample evidence: 3 of 8 directory listings in the fictional sample carry an old phone number.
Possible customer impact: Someone finding the business through a directory could reach the wrong number or hesitate over conflicting details.
Recommended fix: Confirm the current number with the owner, correct the three listings, and keep a record of where the details were updated.

02 / CLOSE THE REVIEW RESPONSE GAP

Let customers see that someone is listening.

Sample evidence: 6 of 12 sampled reviews in this fictional example have no business reply.
Possible customer impact: Prospective customers have fewer examples of how the business acknowledges feedback and handles questions.
Recommended fix: Prepare specific, helpful replies for approval and agree who will review new feedback. Ask for honest reviews without incentives or filtering.

03 / EXPLAIN THE SERVICES PEOPLE SEEK

Make important services easier to understand.

Sample evidence: Emergency and water-heater queries each have 0 of 49 top-three observations in the sample. The fictional website also lacks dedicated pages for these services.
Possible customer impact: People seeking those services may have difficulty finding the business or confirming whether it can help. These observations do not establish cause and effect.
Recommended fix: Confirm the services actually offered, then create useful pages covering scope, service area and how to inquire. Recheck comparable search observations after changes; improvement is not guaranteed.

A fuller audit adds the detail.

Start with the free LightAudit overview. The fictional full-audit example shows the deeper questions we can explore when agreeing a scope with you. It is not a promise that every LightAudit output includes these sections.

Profile and website

Business details, service information and the path from a profile visit to a useful inquiry.

Local search visibility

Six keyword grids, with the search area and method needed to interpret a pattern responsibly.

Competitors and reviews

Comparative context and response gaps, without treating another business’s presence as proof of what caused it.

Listings and consistency

Where business details differ and which records should be confirmed before making corrections.

AI-answer observations

The questions, method and limits behind a sample of AI-generated answers. Answers can vary; inclusion is not guaranteed.

A 30-day priority plan

A sequence of recommended fixes, responsible owners and review points. A work plan, not a promise of results in 30 days.
