Off page Local SEO Audit Total (15minutes)

I am continuing my last topic how to do local seo edit which we have seen in lastly.

Google+verified Business(5 minutes):If a business doesnot have a google plus verified account then its difficult for a business to get rank in local space.

allintext:examplesite.com site:plus.google.com

Citation Audit(5minutes): Citations are the backbone of local SEO. The more you have, the higher you can expect to rank in the local SEO space. For ease of use, the tool spits out a number from 1–100 based on how many citations have been claimed/missing or incorrect.

Backlink/Penalty Analysis (5 Minutes): Living in a post-Penguin and Panda world, we need to look out for any previous or future penalties for shady backlinks. You can analyze this part fairly quickly using a tool like Ahrefs site explorer
