Free local visibility audit · five a month
A real person reviews your website, your Google Business Profile and the three Canterbury businesses outranking you. Three working days later you get a one-page scorecard and the three fixes that would move the needle first.
No access to your accounts. No 40-page PDF. No sales call required to get the report.
A diagnosis from the person who would do the work. If your site is fine and your offer is the problem, I’ll say that. If the fix is a $400 job, I’ll say that too.
It’s the same review I do before quoting anyone. You’re getting it for free because one in five turns into a partner, and that pays for the other four.
A 40-page PDF a tool spat out. A “free audit” that turns into a 45-minute pitch. A reason to tell you that you need a $15,000 rebuild before I’ve looked at anything.
No logins, no lock-in, and nothing to sign. If the report isn’t useful, you’ve lost ten minutes.
Most “free audits” are a screenshot of a paid tool. These are the six that actually decide whether you get the call.
Where you really appear for your three money searches — not an average from a rank tracker that’s never stood in Riccarton. Mobile and desktop, because three in four local searches happen on a phone.
Categories, services, photos, posts, review velocity, unanswered questions. Then a side-by-side with the three businesses above you, and what they have that you don’t.
Most Canterbury operators have one Services page trying to rank for forty suburbs. We map the service-and-suburb pages you’re missing, and flag the thin ones dragging the rest down.
Schema, titles, internal links, mobile speed, crawl errors. Unglamorous — and the reason some sites never move, no matter how much content gets published.
Ask ChatGPT or Google’s AI Overview for “the best plumber in Rolleston” and see who gets mentioned. For most local businesses it isn’t them. We check what’s feeding that answer, and what’s missing.
When the phone rings, do you know if it was Google, the flyer, the ute, or the neighbour? If the answer is “no idea”, that’s usually the most expensive line in the report.
Written so you can act on it with or without me.

Sample report. A Christchurch plumber — details changed, numbers aren’t.
One page, three findings, one verdict.
Plumber · Christchurch
Anonymised. Details changed, pattern isn’t.
The rest is mine.
Your site, your Google listing, and the three searches your customers actually type. That’s it.
Manual review plus tools. I look at you the way Google does, then the way a customer does, then the way your competitor’s marketing manager would.
A one-page scorecard and three fixes. If you want to talk it through, there’s a 15-minute call. If you’d rather take the report and run, that’s a fine outcome too.
The audit is free. My time isn’t unlimited, so I’m picky about where the five go.
If that reads like you, the form’s below. If it doesn’t, no hard feelings — the FAQ probably answers the rest.
The audit is free. The report is yours whether we ever speak again. If we do speak, it’s a 15-minute call about the findings — not a pitch deck. If there’s a fit, I’ll quote it at a fixed price. If there isn’t, I’ll tell you that too.
No. Everything is done from the outside, the same way a customer or Google sees you. You keep your logins.
Three working days from when you send the form. Most come back inside 48 hours. Your side is about two minutes.
Yes, if you’re in Canterbury or selling to Canterbury. Outside the South Island the local competitor picture gets thin, and I’ll tell you before I start rather than pad a report.
One report, one follow-up email, nothing else. No list, no newsletter, no passing it to a “partner”. See the privacy policy.
You fix what you can yourself — it’s written so a capable person can. If you’d rather hand it over, I quote the work at a fixed price. If you don’t, the report still belongs to you.
Because I do them myself, and I only take on two new partners a month. Five audits fills that pipeline. When the month’s slots are gone, the form closes.
Then I’ll say so, close your file, and tell you to spend the money elsewhere.
Two minutes now. Three working days to a report you can act on.
Expect the report within three working days from [email protected]. If it hasn’t landed by then, check spam, then ring me on 022 101 4024.
Email [email protected] directly and I’ll pick it up from there.
Every month you’re off the Map Pack, someone else is answering that call.
