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 depthβ€”full 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.
