4What to Fix, in Order of What It Costs

4 costly · 1 material · 0 polish

Ranked by what each gap costs you, not by how a scanner flags it. The top of this list is where you're losing the call or the click today. Work down from there.

  1. You're invisible on the map.

    No Google Business Profile means you can't appear in the map results — where most local searches end. This is the single biggest miss.

    Fix: Claim or create a Google Business Profile at business.google.com. Verify by postcard or phone.

    Technical detail · for your developer

    No Google Business Profile found — Without a GBP, the business cannot appear in the local pack — the single biggest local-SEO miss. — Claim or create a Google Business Profile at business.google.com. Verify by postcard or phone.

  2. You don't show up where local buyers look first.

    The map's top results capture most local searches, and you're not in them. The fix is foundational: profile, schema, and on-page basics.

    Fix: Fix the foundational signals first: GBP completeness,
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Outside the top results (organic #9) — The site does not rank in the top 7 organic results for its primary local query. — Fix the foundational signals first: GBP completeness, LocalBusiness schema with NAP, on-page title + H1 with city.

  3. Google is guessing what your business is.

    Structured data is how you tell Google your name, address, and what you sell. Without it, Google infers — and it trusts the competitors it's sure about.

    Fix: Add a LocalBusiness JSON-LD block with NAP (name, address,
    Technical detail · for your developer

    No structured data (JSON-LD) on page — Google relies on structured data to understand local business information. — Add a LocalBusiness JSON-LD block with NAP (name, address, phone), opening hours, and primary category.

  4. Your page never says what it's about.

    The main heading tells Google and the visitor what this page does. With none, both have to guess — and guessing costs you the ranking.

    Fix: Add a single descriptive H1 to the page with the primary keyword
    Technical detail · for your developer

    No H1 tag on page — Every page should have exactly one H1. — Add a single descriptive H1 to the page with the primary keyword.

  5. Your photos are invisible to Google.

    Without descriptions, your images can't show up in image search and screen readers skip them. That's reach you're not getting.

    Fix: Audit content images and add descriptive alt text
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Most images missing alt text (7/9) — Image alt coverage is below 70%. — Audit content images and add descriptive alt text. Use empty alt='' only for decorative images.
