Compare public profiles with the facts the business confirms

This worksheet does not assign a composite score. It keeps the source, observed value, review decision, and follow-up together.

1

Verified business record

Use information confirmed by the business, not values copied from another profile.

2

Public source review

Paste the source, record what is visible, then choose a review status.

Source 1

Search or map profile

Name, address, phone, hours, category, and website

Source 2

Business website

The business-owned version of its public facts

Source 3

Navigation or discovery profile

Directions, address, phone, and status

Source 4

Social profile

Name, contact details, link, and current activity

Reviewable workflow

From verified fact to public recheck

  1. 01

    Confirm the business record

    Ask the business to confirm the name, address, phone, website, and hours that should be treated as the reference.

  2. 02

    Check the live source

    Open each relevant public profile. Save its URL and the date you checked it so another person can reproduce the finding.

  3. 03

    Separate differences from errors

    A formatting difference is not always wrong. Flag only facts that may confuse a customer or need the business to review.

  4. 04

    Review the proposed correction

    Show the observed value beside the verified value. A person approves the destination and final wording before any edit is submitted.

  5. 05

    Track the destination status

    Keep submitted, published, rejected, and needs-action states separate. Publisher acceptance is not assumed.

  6. 06

    Recheck the same profile

    Return to the same URL after the publisher has processed the request and record what is publicly visible.

Questions and limits

Local business listing scan FAQ

The scan records evidence. It does not turn a public difference into an automatic diagnosis or result claim.

Does this scan fetch live listings automatically?

No. This page is a browser-local review worksheet. You open the public sources yourself and record what you can verify.

Does LocalCMO submit an edit from this page?

No. Nothing on this page is sent to a publisher. It prepares a reviewable evidence record before a supported listing workflow is used.

What counts as a listing issue?

A likely issue is a public fact that conflicts with the business-confirmed record or could send a customer to the wrong place, number, website, or opening time.

Does a mismatch prove lost rankings or revenue?

No. The scan documents customer-visible facts. It does not prove ranking loss, traffic loss, bookings, or revenue impact.
