What you get with VisRank
Show up in the local pack
The local pack (the map and top 3 listings) drives many local clicks. VisRank checks 8 on-page local signals that help Google understand the business and service area.
NAP signal check
VisRank verifies that your name, address, and phone number are present and consistent on your website - a foundational local ranking factor.
Review and trust signals
Review schema and testimonial content help Google trust your business. We check whether your site has review markup that can display star ratings in search.
Score and visibility alerts
A wrong noindex tag, schema change, crawler block, or score drop can hurt local discovery. Monitoring emails you when important visibility signals regress.
Track improvements over time
Fix an issue, rescan, and see what changed. Monitoring shows fixed issues, new issues, issues that came back, and still-open issues so local SEO work stays clear.
AI search for local businesses
LocalBusiness schema, location content, reviews, and clear service-area proof make local pages easier for search and AI systems to understand and verify.

Common Questions
What local SEO signals does VisRank check
VisRank tests 8 local signals: LocalBusiness schema, street address in page content, phone number, city/state mentions, Google Maps embed, opening hours signals, contact page link, and review signals.
What is the highest-impact local SEO fix
Adding accurate LocalBusiness JSON-LD schema with your name, address or service area, phone, and opening hours is often a high-impact foundation fix. It helps Google understand the business, but rankings and presentation are still determined by many other signals.
Will fixing my VisRank score improve my Google Maps ranking
Improving the signals VisRank checks - LocalBusiness schema, NAP consistency, and contact information - is correlated with better local pack visibility. Google Maps also weighs reviews and distance, which VisRank does not influence.
