**Use it when:** Quickly assessing a local business's GBP before or during a local SEO engagement.

## Prompt
```
Act as a local SEO expert.

Audit this Google Business Profile and return a prioritised optimization plan.

BUSINESS DETAILS:
"""
[PASTE: name, primary/secondary categories, services, description, review count/rating, posts, photos, attributes, city]
COMPETITOR (optional): [details]
"""

1. Categories — is the PRIMARY category optimal for the target term? Suggest better if not (it's a top ranking factor).
2. Completeness — services, attributes, description, Q&A, photos: what's missing or weak.
3. Reviews — assess volume, velocity, rating, responses; give a growth plan.
4. Posts & engagement — cadence and content ideas.
5. Prioritised, do-this-week action list ranked by local ranking impact.

No fluff — specific and actionable.
```

## Why this works
Local ranking now runs almost entirely on structured signals inside a Google Business Profile — category selection, attribute completeness, review response patterns — rather than classic on-page SEO tactics. This prompt walks the same checklist a manual local-SEO audit would, focused on what is actually inside your control to fix.
