Choose one service page to improve: _______________________________

[ ] 1. SAY WHAT YOU DO AND WHERE
Replace a vague headline with the service and the area you actually cover.
Illustrative example: "Drain cleaning in Fairfield, NJ."

[ ] 2. ANSWER THREE REAL BUYING QUESTIONS
Explain your pricing factors, what is included and how booking works.
Use your own policies. Ask the person who handles inquiries what comes up most.

[ ] 3. SHOW A REAL JOB
Use a relevant photo you have permission to share. Add a factual caption that
explains the work. Keep customer addresses and other private details out.

[ ] 4. CHECK YOUR GOOGLE BUSINESS PROFILE
For an eligible local business, check services, hours, phone number and website.
Correct outdated information. Your website should describe the same business.
https://www.google.com/business/

[ ] 5. CHECK WHETHER GOOGLE CAN SEE YOUR PAGE
Open Search Console and select your website. Paste the full service-page URL
into URL Inspection. Read the indexing status and any explanation.
If a relevant fix is needed, test the corrected live page and request indexing
when eligible. Requests do not guarantee indexing or an AI recommendation.

You need access to your website's Search Console property. To get set up:

COPYABLE WRITING PROMPT

I run [business name]. We provide [service] in [actual service area]. Help me
answer three questions customers ask before booking. First ask me for our real
pricing factors, what is included, how booking works, and any limits or
exclusions. Then write three short question-and-answer sections for the service
page. Use only facts I provide. Ask about missing details. Do not invent prices,
locations, reviews, credentials or guarantees. Keep the wording plain enough
for a customer to understand on their phone.

Read the answers before publishing. You know your policy; an AI assistant does not.
You can also answer these questions yourself without an AI tool.

These checks require no paid software. A technical repair may take further work.
Google Business Profile and Search Console checks concern Google, not every
AI service. No checklist guarantees rankings or placement in an AI answer.
