Hard Core Local SEO Audit Resources for Local Search Consultants

[Linda Buquet]

If you do local search, then Local SEO audits are likely the foundation of everything you do - or they should be at least. Audits help you size up where the client is at and formulate a plan that will net the best results. But doing an audit can be painful and time consuming if you don't have your ducks in a row. The following info will help!

I just read a great post by Phil Rosek on the topic of Local Search Audits, so I wanted to share. Then I realized we have several other great audit resources, so thought I'd pull the best of the best together for you.

But I’m guessing your problem is that your local SEO audits don’t go boom.

To be more specific, I’d wager that you’ve got at least one of these concerns:

- Clients don’t seem to understand your audits
- Clients don’t act on your audits
- You feel overwhelmed by your own audits
- You want to eliminate wastes of time and effort
- You want to make your audits better

If any of the above describes you, grab a match and some earplugs and come with me.

Here are my 20 principles for a dynamite local SEO audit.

Above is just a snippet, so head over to Phils to read the rest.
