Here are clear signs it’s time for a local SEO overhaul—and what to do about it:


⚠️ 1. You’re Not in the Local Pack

If you Google your service + "Houston" and you’re not in the top 3 map results (Local Pack), something’s off.

✅ You may need to optimize your Google Business Profile or get more reviews.


📉 2. Your Website Traffic Is Flat or Dropping

Check Google Analytics:

  • No growth in organic traffic?

  • Bounce rates climbing?

  • Mobile users not converting?

✅ You may need a content, speed, or mobile-friendliness update.


⏳ 3. You Haven’t Posted Anything in Months

Google prefers fresh content.If your last blog was 6 months ago and your GMB post is from 2023… you’re getting buried.

✅ Consistency is key in staying visible.


📍 4. Your Listings Are Inconsistent

NAP (Name, Address, Phone) should match across all platforms.

✅ Inconsistent Yelp, Bing, or Facebook listings confuse Google—and hurt your local authority.


🧩 5. You're Not Getting Calls or Leads

If you’re visible but not converting, your:

  • CTAs may be weak

  • Landing pages poorly designed

  • Keywords not matching user intent


✅ An SEO audit can show where your funnel breaks down.
