Local Growth Scorecard

Answer from what happens today—not what the process is supposed to do.

Choose “partly” when a system exists but is inconsistent. Choose “no or unsure” when nobody can verify it. Every answer stays in this browser.

01 Are your name, service area, hours, contact details and core services accurate everywhere customers find you?
02 Can you see which search queries and landing pages produce calls, forms or bookings?
03 Does each core service have a useful page that answers buyer questions instead of repeating a short sales pitch?
04 On a phone, can a new visitor quickly understand the offer and complete the main action without friction?
05 Can prospects verify why they should trust you through current reviews, work, credentials or firsthand expertise?
06 Are ownership, likely investment, timing, privacy and what happens after launch clear before a sales call?
07 Does every call, form and booking request get a named owner and a fallback when that person is unavailable?
08 Are new inquiries acknowledged and followed up consistently without relying on someone remembering?
09 Can you trace a qualified lead from source through booked work or a documented lost reason?
10 Are repeatable handoffs documented, tested and monitored so failures reach a person?

Your answers are calculated locally. They are not transmitted, saved or used for marketing.

Transparent methodology

Why these five pillars belong in one score.

A ranking is not a business outcome. Visibility matters only when the right visitor can understand the offer, trust the business, reach someone and move through a dependable delivery system.
