Google Business Profile audit: find the gaps before your customers do.
A Google Business Profile audit, also called a Google My Business or GMB audit, helps you check what customers see on Search and Maps. An audit checks your Google business listing for missing or outdated details, so you know what needs fixing first.
See your profile as a customer would
Ask one question: what would a customer see and do next?
A useful audit connects profile data to customer experience. If the phone number is wrong, the customer cannot call. If hours are outdated, the customer may arrive at the wrong time. If services are unclear, a searcher may choose another business. If reviews go unanswered, an opportunity to demonstrate responsiveness is missed.

What to check
Six areas worth reviewing.
Start with facts, then move toward customer experience and measurement. Fixing a factual problem is usually more important than polishing a cosmetic detail.
Your contact details and hours
Check business name, primary category, phone, website, address or service area, hours and the services customers actually need.
Missing business details
Look for relevant missing fields, weak descriptions, outdated information and gaps that make it harder for customers to understand the business.
Customer trust
Review ratings, review volume, recent feedback, response activity and the quality of genuine photos and customer-facing information.
Recent posts and updates
Check whether updates are useful and current. Content should support real customers rather than exist simply to create activity.
Your services and the areas you serve
Make sure your profile and website clearly communicate the services you offer and the places you genuinely serve.
How people contact you
Review available performance data such as calls, website interactions, direction requests and other profile actions.
What to fix first
Not every audit item deserves the same attention.
First: accuracy
Fix incorrect phone numbers, hours, locations and service information.
Next: customer confidence
Improve clarity, genuine photos, review responses and useful service information.
Then: keep details up to date
Keep the profile aligned with the website and watch available customer actions over time.
Turn the audit into action
