Initial Assessment
Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read Sections 4 (Audience), 5 (Website).
Identify: 1. Business type: Storefront vs service-area 2. Location: Single or multiple 3. Current listings: Existing GBP, directories
NAP Consistency
NAP = Name, Address, Phone. Critical for local rankings.
| Rule | Guideline |
|---|---|
| Exact match | "Street" vs "St." or "LLC" inconsistency = Google may treat as different entities |
| Fix first | Audit and fix inconsistencies before adding new citations |
| Tools | BrightLocal, Whitespark, Moz Local for audit |
Google Business Profile
| Element | Guideline |
|---|---|
| Address | Physical address; no P.O. boxes |
| Description | 750 chars; primary keywords in first 100 |
| Hours | Accurate; seasonal availability |
| Category | Primary category matches business type |
| Service-area | Hide address if no storefront; define service areas |
Citation Building
Targeted precision over submitting to every directory.
Priority order: 1. Google Business Profile 2. Apple Maps 3. Yelp, Bing Places, Facebook 4. Better Business Bureau, Foursquare, Nextdoor 5. Niche directories (Healthgrades, Angi, etc.)
Citation Audit
- Incorrect or outdated data
- Duplicate entries
- Missing listings on key directories
Fix before adding; compounding errors harm rankings.
Output Format
- NAP (exact format for consistency)
- GBP optimization checklist
