How does your website score for local search?
Type in your address and I’ll check the things that decide whether Google shows you in the map pack: mobile speed, title tags, city mentions, LocalBusiness schema, HTTPS, indexing and more. You get a score out of 100 and the first three things to fix, right here on the page.

Ordered by how much each one is likely hurting your rankings.
Want me to fix these?
I'm Drew — one person, not an agency, and the one who'd actually do the work. The top three issues alone usually move a Treasure Valley business into the map pack within a couple of months. I'll walk you through this on a 15-minute call, no pitch.
Four things Google weighs before it ranks a local business
It only looks at your public homepage, nothing to install and no login. The full fix list, with how to fix each item, is emailed on request. If you’d rather I just look at it by hand, request a free audit.
Speed & mobile
Google’s own mobile speed test (PageSpeed): how fast your page paints, whether it jumps around while loading, and how heavy it is. Slow mobile pages lose map-pack clicks before anyone reads a word.
On-page SEO
Title tag, meta description, one clear H1, word count, image alt text and whether the page actually names the cities you serve. This is the stuff most Treasure Valley sites get half right.
Local signals
LocalBusiness schema, a visible phone number, a link to your Google Business Profile or map, and review markup. These are the signals that tie your website to your listing.
Technical health
HTTPS, mobile viewport, canonical tag, noindex mistakes, sitemap and how many scripts you’re loading. Boring, but a single wrong tag can keep a page out of Google entirely.
No account manager. Just me.
I’m Drew Vachal, and the difference between me and an agency is simple: I do all the work. The person who quotes your SEO work is the person who builds it, checks it, and sends you the monthly report. Nothing gets handed to a junior or shipped somewhere else.
It also means I’m a phone call or a text away. Not a ticket queue, not a “strategy call” three weeks out — me, usually the same day. I’ve worked this way since 2014, and 98% of the clients I’ve started with are still with me.
