Sample proof: we audited ourselves first

Baseline captured Oct 30, 2026 on our own operating business (a Palm Coast, FL service-area firm). Real findings, no invented numbers.

Signals in

Signal	Baseline
Website	Non-secure (http) address returned a server error (HTTP 500) instead of redirecting; no local business markup with phone/area; sitemap not referenced in robots.txt
Google reviews	UNKNOWN (no profile access yet)
Map-pack rank	UNKNOWN (rank tool not yet enabled)
Citations / NAP	Phone mismatch: 0 of 2 directories showing a phone matched the website · 1 duplicate listing · 1 stale description · street address exposed where a service-area listing was wanted

Ranked play

build_citations0.92

Old phone number on 2 directories, a duplicate listing, and a street address shown where it should be hidden.

fix_technical0.80

Non-secure address returned a server error; no local business markup.

optimize_gbp0.40

Google profile data UNKNOWN until access is granted, so confidence is capped.

location_pages0.30

No service-area pages yet; value depends on profile + rank baseline.

ask_human0.55

Owner decisions needed: profile access, rank tool, who deploys fixes.

Next move: build_citations, after owner approval of each listing fix. Meanwhile: fix_technical.

Listing consistency (before)

Source	Phone	Address mode	Website link	Status
Own website	Official	Service area	n/a	Record
Directory A	Old number	Street shown	Missing	Mismatch
Directory B	Not shown	Street shown	UNKNOWN	Stale description
Directory C	Old number	Not shown	UNKNOWN	Mismatch + duplicate

Directory names, street and old number are withheld from this public sample. The "after" column fills in as fixes are approved; this business's fixes are currently paused by the owner.

What "after" will show

Listing diff: old vs corrected, with screenshots
Technical re-checks: redirects return 301, local markup validates
Profile and map-pack baselines once access is granted
