About this sample

Example Estate Planning Firm (fictional)

A solo attorney offering wills, trusts and probate help. The findings below are invented to show how an audit is organized. Your real audit would be based on your own profile, pages and listings.
Findings summary

Three areas, each with a clear next step

Illustrative only.
PROFILE

Google Business Profile

Primary category is correct, but several services are missing and the description does not mention trusts or probate. Suggested fix: add services and rewrite the description.
WEBSITE (MOBILE)

Trusts service path

On the mobile homepage, the trusts service is mentioned but has no link to its consultation page. See the worked finding below.

LISTINGS

Local listings

The working phone number appears in different formats on two directories. This is a lower priority than a wrong number, which would stop a call.

A WORKED FINDING

Trusts description with no clear next step

Fictional demonstration · not a client result  Example Estate Planning Firm (fictional)
FieldIllustrative content
ObservationOn the fictional firm’s mobile homepage, the trusts service is mentioned, but the text has no link to its consultation page.
Why it mattersA visitor who has already identified the right service still has to search the menu for the next step.
Proposed fixLink the service description to the relevant page and place a clearly labeled consultation link beside it.
ApprovalThe attorney confirms the service and destination.
VerificationOn a phone, follow the profile website link, find the service, open the form, and verify the correct confirmation screen in a test environment.
Evidence limitThis demonstrates a navigation issue. Estimating lost inquiries requires additional evidence.

Evidence, owner, and retest

HOW EVIDENCE CHANGES PRIORITY

The same issue can rank differently

Priority depends on what the evidence shows, not on how the issue looks in a checklist.
SituationPriority and reasoning
A wrong phone number that prevents a callHigh. A visitor cannot reach the firm, so it is fixed first.
A working phone number shown in different formatsLow. Calls still connect, so it is batched with other consistency clean-up.
A service mentioned with no link to its pageMedium to high. The visitor has found the service but has no obvious next step.
Wills and trusts on one shared pageSplit only if evidence shows visitors cannot identify the right service or inquire. Without that evidence, the page may work as it is.
This is a demonstration. I do not estimate lost inquiries without intake data from the firm.
Priority order

What I would fix first

FIRST

Quick wins

Profile services and description, plus the missing consultation link. Small changes, done in a short sprint.

NEXT

Evidence-led page decisions

Split a shared service page only if evidence shows visitors cannot identify the right service or inquire.

LATER

Consistency and upkeep

Phone-format differences, regular profile updates, and a monthly report.

Where this leads

A real audit ends with a prioritized list like this one. You can give it to your own developer, ask for a scoped Fix Sprint, or add Monthly Local SEO for upkeep.
