Free GBP Audit

Read-only. We do not log into your GBP. By running an audit you accept our Terms and Privacy Policy.

§ 02 How it works
i.

We pull the live profile data via the Google Business Profile API and start the audit immediately. No login required for the free audit.

ii.

Profile completeness, ranking signals, content cadence, AI-search citation, and risk/compliance. Each check is scored against the top three competitors in your local pack.

iii.

Branded PDF, full geo-grid baseline, prioritized fix list. Email the report to yourself or skip the email and download it directly.

§ 03 The checklist

Every audit runs the same checks in the same order — the ones we run on day one of every paid engagement. Nothing is hidden, nothing is upsold, nothing requires a sales call to interpret.

§ 05 FAQ
Is the free audit actually free? +

Yes. No card, no trial countdown, no email required to view the report inline. We will ask for an email if you want the PDF version delivered, but you can also download it directly without one.

How accurate is the audit? +

The data comes from the Google Business Profile API, live geo-grid scans, and the same structured-data crawlers we run inside the paid product. The 47 checks are the same checks we run on day one of every paid engagement.

Will running the audit affect my Google Business Profile? +

No. The audit is read-only. We only fetch publicly available data and data you would see in your own GBP dashboard. We do not edit, post, or change anything.

Do you store the audit results? +

We store them for 30 days so you can come back to the same report via the link in your email. After 30 days they are deleted unless you create a free GBPHive account, in which case they are saved to your workspace.

Can I run the audit on a competitor? +

Yes — and we recommend it. The most useful audits are run on a competitor in your map pack, then on yourself, so you can see exactly what they are doing differently.

What is the catch? +

There is no catch. The free audit is the best way to show new customers what we do. If the audit is useful, the chances you will eventually try the paid product go up. If it is not useful, we want to know — email hello@gbphive.com.

From audit to action

GBPHive turns every fix in the audit into a workflow you can ship — bulk edits across locations, scheduled posts, AI-drafted review replies, and a daily geo-grid that proves the work landed.
