Getting Started

The Free Audit

What the PlaceOptimizer free audit measures, how to request one, and what you get back — no account or payment needed.

The free audit is the fastest way to see what PlaceOptimizer can do. Enter a brand name and a work email, and the engine — the same one that powers the operator console — discovers the brand's Google Business Profile listings and scores them. No account, no login, no payment, and no access to your Google Business Profile listings.

Request an audit at placeoptimizer.com/free-audit.

How it works

  1. Enter your brand and work email. Type your brand name and a valid work email, and tick the box confirming you agree to be contacted about your audit. No account or login is required.
  2. Discover your listings. The engine finds every Google Business Profile Google has indexed for your brand across India, reading public data only.
  3. Audit and score every location. Each listing is checked against a checklist across seven categories — hours, photos, categories, name-address-phone consistency, ratings and reviews, cross-location consistency, and duplicate candidates — then rolled up into a single 0–100 brand-health score.
  4. Get your result and emailed snapshot. Your score, listing count, duplicates, and top issues appear on the page, and an executive snapshot is emailed to the address you provided — usually within a minute.

What the audit measures

The checklist covers seven categories:

  • Business hours — are opening hours present, complete, and current?
  • Photos — does the listing have photo coverage?
  • Categories & attributes — is the primary category set and appropriate?
  • NAP consistency — is the name, address, and phone consistent and complete?
  • Ratings & reviews — rating depth and review activity.
  • Cross-location consistency — do listings across the brand agree with each other?
  • Duplicate candidates — listings that look like duplicates of one another.

Each issue found is classified by severity (Critical, Warning, Info) and the brand score is aggregated from every location's score. Score bands run from excellent (90+) through good (75+), fair (60+), and poor (below 40).

How to request one

Go to placeoptimizer.com/free-audit, enter your brand and work email, tick the consent box, and submit. The result appears on the page immediately and the executive snapshot is emailed to you.

The audit is capped at three per email per day to keep it free, with a per-network limit and an overall daily cap so provider costs stay bounded. If you hit a cap, the page tells you clearly and you can try again the next day.

What you get back

  • Your 0–100 brand-health score.
  • The number of listings found.
  • Any duplicate candidates.
  • The top issues by frequency.
  • An executive snapshot emailed to your address — a scored summary you can act on or share internally.

If no Google Business Profiles are found for that brand in India, the page tells you that honestly rather than inventing a result.

What happens to your email

Your work email is used to send you the executive snapshot, and it is recorded as a lead only because you tick the consent box — the form will not submit without it. It is not sold. The email also enforces the three-per-day cap that keeps the audit free.

After the audit

The free audit is the entry point to the platform. If your brand's presence needs work — or you want ongoing management of listings, posts, and reviews — the operator console is where that happens, on transparent per-location INR plans with GST invoices. See the Console tour and the MCP Server documentation for what comes next.
