Build a Local Visibility Baseline

A useful local visibility baseline records the service, search location, date and competitors before any changes. Keep city coverage separate from street-level rankings so later comparisons measure the same thing.

Build a Local Visibility Baseline helps local businesses and agencies improve visibility, attract nearby customers and choose next steps for growth.

Map demand before making changes

Choose a service customers can actually buy and the area the business can serve. Record a small set of service-and-location searches, then identify which businesses appear for those searches. A broad keyword total does not explain whether the nearby customer can find the right service.

Evidence to keep

  • Primary service and search phrase
  • Confirmed business location and service area
  • Competitors appearing for the same search

Separate city coverage from street visibility

A strong result close to the premises can hide weaker visibility elsewhere. Use city coverage to choose areas for investigation, then a search grid to inspect a specific service area. Compare repeat scans using the same geometry and search conditions; a different origin is a different measurement.

Evidence to keep

  • Scan origin, radius and measured points
  • Ranking coverage and ATGR for that scan
  • Areas that differ from the city-wide pattern

Connect weak areas to a commercial service

A weak ranking is a starting point for investigation, not proof of lost revenue. Check whether the area is commercially relevant, whether the matching service page is useful and whether the public profile accurately represents the business. Prioritise a specific gap the team can explain and address.

Evidence to keep

  • Relevant service or location page
  • Profile and review evidence
  • One proposed change with a comparison date
