Book a 20-minute call

Get a free marketing audit

Most “free audits” are a sales pitch with a logo on top: a report generated by a tool, a long list of red warnings, and a call that turns into a quote within the first five minutes. Our free marketing audit is a review of how your business shows up when local customers search for what you sell, done by a person and explained in plain words.

You get two things. First, a written review of your website, your Google search visibility and your Google Business Profile. Second, a free 20-minute call where we walk you through it and answer your questions. If you decide to go further, our local SEO packages start at $400 a month and the audit becomes the starting point of the plan. If you do not, the list is still yours to use.

Written review + 20-minute call

Checked by hand

What we look at in your free audit

The audit focuses on the places where most local leads are won or lost: your website, Google search and your Business Profile. Each area below is checked by hand, not only with an automated scan.

Your website

Your website is where a search turns into a call or a booking, so we check whether it helps or gets in the way.

  • Speed and mobile use: how fast your main pages load on a phone, and whether buttons, menus and forms work on a small screen.
  • Indexing: whether Google can find and show your important pages, or whether some are blocked, missing or duplicated.
  • Service pages: whether each main service has its own page that explains it clearly, or whether everything is squeezed onto one page.
  • Contact paths: how many taps it takes a visitor to call, book or send a message.
Your Google search visibility

Here we look at what people actually see when they search for your services in your area.

  • Current keywords: the searches your site already appears for, and how close it is to page one.
  • Missing searches: important services or areas that have no page targeting them.
  • Basic on-page signals: page titles, headings and descriptions on your main pages.
Your Google Business Profile

For local businesses, the Business Profile is often seen before the website. We review the parts that affect how often it appears and how often people act on it.

  • Categories and services: whether your primary category matches what you most want to be found for.
  • Completeness: hours, description, service areas, photos and attributes.
  • Reviews: how many you have, how recent they are, and whether they get replies.
  • Consistency: whether your business name, address and phone number match across your profile, website and major listings.

No catch

What you get and what you do not

It is fair to know exactly what “free” means before you hand over your details. This table sets it out.

You get

  • A written review of your website, search visibility and Business Profile
  • Your biggest issues ranked by how much they likely cost you
  • A free 20-minute call to walk through the findings
  • Honest advice on whether SEO is the right move for you right now

You do not get

  • A 60-page tool export full of warnings that do not matter
  • Vague advice like "improve your SEO"
  • A hard-sell call or pressure to sign on the spot
  • Any promise of rankings, from us or anyone else

If the audit shows that something other than SEO is your real problem, such as a site that needs to be rebuilt, we will say so.

Step by step

How it works

Requesting the audit takes a couple of minutes. After that, we do the work and you only need to show up for the call.

(01)

Fill in the short form below

Your name, email, website address and the main service you want more customers for.

(02)

We review your business

We look at your site, your search results and your Business Profile from the outside. We do not need any passwords or account access for the free audit.

(03)

We send you the findings

and a link to book your 20-minute call at a time that suits you.

(04)

We talk it through

You ask questions, we explain what to fix first, and you decide what happens next.

Good fit

Who the free audit is for

The audit is built for small and growing local businesses in BC that want more customers from Google. It is a good fit if any of these sound like you.

  • You serve customers in the Lower Mainland, such as Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond or Coquitlam.
  • You have a website, but it brings in very few calls or bookings.
  • Competitors show up on Google Maps and you do not.
  • You have paid for SEO before and never really knew what was done.
  • You are thinking about hiring an agency and want an honest second opinion first.

It is less useful if you do not have a website or Business Profile yet. In that case, a 20-minute call is still free, and we can talk about setting up your Business Profile or what a first website needs.

No obligation

What happens if you want help after the audit

There is no obligation to buy anything. If you do want us to fix what we found, the next step is one of our monthly SEO plans, and the free audit leads straight into the full audit that every plan starts with.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about the free audit

These are the questions people usually ask before requesting a free audit.

Is the audit really free?

Yes. The written audit and the 20-minute call cost nothing, and you do not need a credit card to request them.

No. You can take the findings and fix them yourself, hand them to your own web person, or ask us for help. All three are fine with us.

Not for the free audit. We review everything from the outside, the same way Google and your customers see it. Access is only needed if you later choose a monthly plan.

No one can honestly promise that, because no one controls Google’s results. Google says the same in its own guidance. What we can tell you is what is holding your site back and what to fix first.

Automated checkers scan your site for technical warnings and score them. We look at your business the way a customer does: whether you appear for the right searches, whether your profile is convincing, and whether your site makes it easy to contact you. A tool can tell you a page is slow; we tell you which slow page is costing you calls.

Send the form anyway. We focus on the Lower Mainland, but we work with businesses elsewhere in BC as well.
