| 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 |
