1 - Add your Google Business Profile to Localo


Add your business profile to Localo so the platform can analyze it and suggest improvements.

And make sure it’s connected to your Google Account.


2 - Choose your monitored keywords


Choose keywords that describe your business and the services your customers search for.

Focus on searches that match what your business actually offers.

You can add up to 10 keywords.


3 - Review your Audit


Audit helps you understand which areas of your profile need attention and where to begin.

It is available with Optimization enabled.

If Optimization is not active for your profile, enable it first, then open Audit.

Start with the High Impact recommendations:

  1. Open a recommendation.

  2. Read what needs attention and why.

  3. Follow the instructions to make the change in Localo or directly in Google.

💡Your Audit Score is not your Google ranking. Use it to identify areas to improve, not as a guarantee of higher positions.

4 - Continue with Smart Tasks


Use Smart Tasks to keep working on your profile.

Suggestions may include publishing a Google Post, updating profile information, or requesting customer feedback.

💡 Choose a task relevant to your business and check any suggested content before publishing.


5 - Monitor your visibility


Open Position Map to see where your business appears for your monitored keywords.

Check your visibility across different locations and see which competitors appear above your business in the monitored results.

How is Position Map different from Audit?

Audit helps you identify areas of your profile that need attention. Position Map shows your visibility for monitored searches across different locations.

!Compare your visibility over time rather than judging progress from a single check.


6 - Manage customer reviews


Use Reviews Manager to monitor new feedback and reply to customer reviews.

Share your review-request link or QR Poster to make it easier for customers to leave a review.

💡 Regularly collecting reviews and responding quickly increases your business credibility.


For your first session, focus on three actions:

  1. Choose your keywords.

  2. Review your Audit.

  3. Complete one priority recommendation.

Then return regularly to review your tasks, visibility, and customer feedback.
