Six areas decide whether your marketing works or leaks. Think of a full SEO audit as an MRI; the Quick Audit is the physical exam — it catches the critical issues fast.
Footprint
Is your Google Business Profile, website and directories claimed and consistent? If Google can’t confirm who and where you are, nothing else ranks.
Reviews & reputation
Star ratings and review counts across Google and Yelp — and whether you reply. Volume matters as much as rating.
Social proof
Real evidence of your business crew doing the work in real neighborhoods — not vanity follower counts.
Tracking
Conversions, call tracking and pixels. Are Analytics, Search Console and your ad accounts wired correctly? Usually not.
Advertising
Campaign structure, keywords and creative — and whether the leads you pay for actually get answered and quoted.
Strategy
How you rank vs. competitors, page speed, video on the homepage, and content that answers what customers search.

How real SEO actually works
Google rewards proof that you do what you say — real work, real reviews, repurposed across channels. No hocus pocus.
