    What do I actually get from a free audit, and what is the catch?

    You get the report. It shows your Google Maps position across 49 points, the competitor appearing in the top 3 most often, and whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode name you. There is no card and no call required to receive it. If you never speak to us again, the report is still yours to act on.

    What this actually includes

    The free audit runs one service-and-city search across 49 Google Maps points, identifies the competitor appearing in the top 3 most often, and checks whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode name you.

    The audit records your Google Maps position at 49 points across your service area for one service-and-city search.

    It identifies the competitor Google puts in the top 3 most often, so you can see who appears ahead of you.

    The map shows where you surface and where you drop off rather than one number from one point.

    It checks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode and records whether each names your business and who each names instead. We monitor AI presence — we don't claim algorithm access.

    Every result includes the search and date so you can check it yourself and see exactly what we ran.

    Who this is for

    Anyone can run this audit, whether you already work with an agency or plan to hire nobody at all. It costs nothing, needs no card, and arrives in about 10 minutes, making it a sensible first step before spending money.

    No qualification is needed to run it, which is why this is the first step for every owner we work with and the last step for plenty who never hire us. It costs nothing and it is delivered in about 10 minutes.

    It is most useful before you spend money. If a vendor is pitching you, run this first so you can check their claims against a document. If you are choosing between fixing the listing and rebuilding the website, this tells you which one is actually broken.

    HVAC and roofing owners often run it after a slow season, when the question is whether the phone stopped because of the market or because the record went stale.

    This is a read, not a repair. Nothing on your record changes because you ran it. Every other service on this list acts on what the audit finds — start with the marketing agency in Vancouver WA overview if you want to see how they fit together.

    How it works

    You enter your business details at the audit link with no card or sales call required. The report arrives in about 10 minutes, and you can walk through it with us by phone or hand it to your own marketing person.

    There is no gatekeeping step in front of it. You enter your business at the audit link, with no card, no contract, and no sales call gate.

    The report is delivered in about 10 minutes. You read it yourself, in your own time.

    If you want to talk through it, call and we will walk the pages with you. If you want to hand it to whoever already does your marketing, do that instead. There is no obligation attached to it and nothing renews.

    Owners usually run it again a few months later to see what moved. That is fine and it is still free. Running it before you start any work and again afterward is the only way to have a real before-and-after, and without a starting point every later report is just a number with nothing to compare it to.
