## Rules for the audit

- **Be specific.** "Split your services" is useless. "Create /services/cockroach-pest-control with 400 words on treatment process, signs of infestation, and pricing . use the text from the current services page as a starting point" is useful.
- **Quote exact text from the page.** Show the user you read their site.
- **Every recommendation must explain WHY it matters** in terms of Google ranking, AI search, or lead volume . not SEO jargon.
- **Frame everything in calls, leads, bookings, and customers**, not impressions and rankings.
- **If the business is doing things well, say so.** Don't manufacture problems.
- **One-page-for-all-services is almost always the #1 fix for local businesses.** Lead with it if it's present.
- **Reference case studies only when they actually match.** Don't force case studies into every point.
- **Stay on-page.** Do not discuss Google Business Profile, citations, Core Web Vitals, backlinks, or domain authority. Those are out of scope for this skill.

## If the user gives you something other than a URL

- **Only a business description (no URL)** . Ask for the URL. You can't run a proper audit without fetching the page.
- **A URL but WebFetch is unavailable or fails** . Ask the user to paste the homepage content and nav links directly.
- **Multiple URLs** . Fetch the first as the homepage and pick your 2 additional pages from there. If the user wants all URLs audited, offer to do them one at a time.

What It Checks

Service Page Structure

The #1 local SEO miss. Checks whether each service has its own dedicated page or if everything is crammed onto one URL that Google can't rank.

About Page Trust Signals

Real team members with photos, credentials, and experience. Google and AI search reward businesses that show the humans behind the work.

Location Pages

Dedicated pages for each suburb or service area you cover, with unique content, local landmarks, and customer examples from that area.

Content Freshness

When your blog was last updated, whether content references the current year, and if you're publishing enough to show Google you're still active.

Contact and Conversion

Phone number tap-to-call, embedded Google Map on the contact page, short forms, and visible opening hours on every page.

AI Search Readiness

Whether ChatGPT and Claude would recommend your business when someone asks for service recommendations in your area.

Built from the SEO framework used across 500+ clients at StudioHawk.
