# Pre-Flight Local SEO Checklist

Before you start a campaign, a quick pre-flight local SEO checklist helps you begin with a clean setup. This is a simple way to make the first month easier — so the work is smoother, and your reporting is clearer from the start.

## What 'Pre-Flight' Means In Local SEO

Pre-flight is a quick 'ready check' before kickoff. You're just confirming three helpful basics:

- You can access the right tools
- The business info is consistent across key places
- Tracking is ready so progress is easy to measure

Tip

When these are in place, everything that follows tends to feel more organized and easier to communicate.

## Step 1: Confirm Access

Google Business Profile — Owner or manager access confirmed. You're working on the correct listing. Any duplicate listings are noted for later review.

Website + Tools — CMS access (WordPress, Webflow, etc.). Google Search Console access. GA4 access if it's part of your reporting setup.

Calls & Forms Tracking — Call tracking numbers set and tested (if included). Form tracking confirmed working via event or thank-you page.

## Step 2: GBP Basics Check

Name, address, and phone are accurate

Hours are correct

The website URL is correct

Primary category fits the main service

Secondary categories support the offer set

Services list matches what you want leads for

Key attributes are filled out where relevant

Profile and website describe the business consistently

## Step 3: Website Readiness

The site is indexable — no accidental noindex or blocked areas

Priority service pages are easy to reach from navigation or internal links

Priority pages explain services in a clear, simple way

Coverage area is explained consistently

Website contact info matches GBP (NAP alignment)

The site feels usable on mobile

No obvious speed or usability blockers

## Step 4: NAP Consistency & Citation Baseline

Website NAP matches GBP exactly

Major directories spot-checked for consistency (baseline scan)

Any duplicate listings noted

Old phone numbers or addresses that still appear are logged

Any listings that don't match current business details are flagged

## Step 5: Keyword-to-URL Mapping

Priority services list confirmed (2–4 for phase 1)

Each priority service has one main page assigned

Any page overlaps are noted for later cleanup

Missing service pages are identified (gaps to fill)

## Step 6: Tracking & Baseline

Lead definition confirmed (calls / form fills / bookings)

Maps vs. organic reporting separated

Search Console data is flowing

GBP performance data is visible

Calls and forms are testable (if tracking is included)

## Step 7: Final 'Ready To Start' Checklist

Here's your final pass before kickoff. Confirm each one before you start execution:

Access — GBP owner/manager access confirmed
