Your GBP Score (0–100) measures how strong your Google Business Profile is — the listing Google Maps and the local map pack rank when someone nearby searches for what you do.
It is one of the two scores we publish for local businesses. The other is the AI-Readiness Score, which measures your website — whether ChatGPT, Grok, Muse, and Google AI can find, read, and recommend it. Customers find you both ways now, so we score both.
| Category | Points | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| Profile completeness | 25 | Street address, phone, hours listed, website linked from the profile |
| Categories & services | 25 | How many of the services you actually offer are listed — 1 listed earns 8, 4 or more earns the full 25 |
| Reviews | 35 | Your star rating (up to 15) and how many reviews you have (up to 20 — the count matters on a curve, 500+ earns full marks) |
| Hours coverage | 15 | No hours earns 0; weekdays only 7; Saturday too 11; open 7 days or 24 hours earns the full 15 |
A full GBP audit also checks the things a score can't see from public data — profile attributes, photos, Google posts, your written description, and whether you reply to reviews. Those are verified by data pull and spot-check in the full report.
Published methodology. This page. If the scoring changes, the version and date change with it and scores are re-run.
Free rechecks, any time. Ask and we re-run your score on fresh data and update your public listing.
Same score publicly and privately. The score on our directories is the score in any report we send you. There is no second, “real” number.
Real data only. Every point traces to a field on your actual public Google profile. Nothing is estimated or invented.
When your profile is thin — one category, no weekend hours, a handful of reviews — Google shows a competitor instead, and the call never reaches you. Most of the fixes are quick: add the categories your competitors already have, keep your hours current, link your website, and earn steady reviews.
You may have spent years getting your Google profile to rank — and that's real work that still pays off in Maps. The GBP Score tells you whether that work is finished, and the AI-Readiness Score tells you whether the AI assistants your customers are switching to can send you leads too.
The full report names every gap on both scores — what it costs you and what the fix is — for $97, one time.
