Common First-Time Questions
Q: Do I need a website?
No. 75% of local businesses we analyze don't have websites. AI systems can still recommend you based on your Google Business Profile, reviews, and directory listings.
Q: How accurate is the free snapshot?
Very accurate for most businesses (90%+ correlation with full report scores). The main difference is depthβfull reports have 3x more data and detailed recommendations.
Q: Can I run snapshots for competitors?
Technically yes, but we recommend focusing on your own business. Understanding your visibility is more actionable than stalking competitors.
Q: How long does it take to improve my score?
Quick wins (updating listings, fixing errors) can show results in 1-2 weeks. Long-term strategies (building reviews, improving content) take 2-3 months.
Q: What if my score is really low?
Don't panic. Even businesses with low scores (20-40) can improve to 70+ with consistent effort. We'll show you how.
