Is your business showing up on Google?
Find out in ten minutes. This is the same 32-point checklist I run in real local SEO audits — Google Business Profile, reviews, citations, on-page and technical — written in plain English with checkboxes you can actually check off. Free, no pitch.
Six areas. Thirty-two checks. No jargon.
Each item is a yes/no question with a one-line explanation of why it matters and what to do if the answer is no.
Google Business Profile
Categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A and the settings most owners never open.
Reviews
How many, how recent, how you ask, and how you answer — the signals Google and AI assistants both read.
Citations & consistency
Whether your name, address and phone match across the directories that matter.
On-page basics
Title tags, headings, city mentions and internal links on the pages that should rank.
Technical health
Speed, mobile, indexing and the errors that quietly cap your rankings.
Tracking
How to see where you actually rank across your service area, not just from your own desk.
Drew at Vachal Web Design & SEO
I’m Drew — the one doing the work on every account. When you hire Vachal Web Design & SEO, you get me: the same person who quotes the job, designs the site, writes the code and sends you the monthly report.
I’ve been building and ranking websites since 2014 — 150+ of them, all on WordPress. It started with a fan site for Boise State football that grew to 80,000 followers, and a first client build for a non-profit in San Diego. I’ve worked from my studio in Eagle, Idaho ever since.
Distance has never been the point. I work with companies, clinics, law firms, churches and non-profits from Burns, Oregon to Fairfax, Virginia, and every one of them gets the same thing: me, directly, from the first audit to the monthly report — no account managers, no hand-offs.
This checklist is the first thing I run on every new client. If you work through it and want a second set of eyes, request a free audit and I’ll tell you exactly what to fix first — whether or not you hire me.
5.0 stars on Google. Thirty reviews. Zero account managers.
