What is a good local SEO score?

If you can answer yes to 8 or more of the 10 fundamentals — claimed Google Business Profile, correct categories, 20+ real photos, steady reviews with replies, consistent name-address-phone, a fast mobile website, service pages, and local content — you're ahead of most local businesses. Below 5, you're likely invisible for searches you should own.

How do I check my local SEO for free?

Search your service plus your city in an incognito window and see if you appear in the map results. Then audit the fundamentals: Google Business Profile completeness, review count and recency, photo quality, website speed on a phone, and whether your name, address, and phone match everywhere they appear online.
