Most owners never see their business the way a stranger does. Search your own name on your phone and check for these seven problems.

  1. Fewer than 10 reviews. Ask every happy customer, every day.
  2. Unanswered bad reviews. Reply calmly and offer to make it right.
  3. Wrong hours. Update them, including holidays.
  4. No photos, or bad ones. Add clear photos of your work, team and storefront.
  5. A website that breaks on phones. Most local searches happen on a phone.
  6. No clear way to contact you. Put your phone number at the top of every page.
  7. Different details on different sites. Make your name, address and phone match everywhere.
