These are the tools we already run on every new client.

The GBP auditor is what we open first on every new engagement. The Site Readiness check is what decides which pages we rewrite. The Easy-to-Work-With diagnostic is the first thing we hand every operator. They work because they are the real thing — not a watered-down lead magnet version.

Who these are built for

Every tool is calibrated for small and mid-sized service businesses where a handful of booked appointments is the difference between a good month and a great one.

Frequently asked

  1. Are these tools really free? What is the catch?

    Yes — every tool is free, every result is shown immediately, and none of them require an email to see the score. We only ask for an email if you want a personalized 30-minute fix plan delivered. The people who run the tools, see their weak spots, and want help going deeper hire us. That is the whole model.

  2. What kinds of businesses are these for?

    Small and mid-sized service businesses — med spas, dental practices, wellness clinics, home services, law firms, salons, chiropractors, and any operator who depends on Google search and local reputation to drive calls and bookings. The audits work for any website and any Google Business Profile.

  3. How is this different from other free SEO tools?

    Most free SEO tools run a mechanical scan (page speed, broken links, meta tags) and hand you a 60-item checklist. Our tools score the signals that actually drive leads — whether a real buyer can find, trust, and book you — and hand you a short, prioritized plan you can execute in 30 minutes. Score first, plan second, no multi-hour report to read.

  4. What is AEO, and why do you keep mentioning it?

    AEO — answer engine optimization — is SEO for AI engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews). They now answer 30–40% of commercial searches without sending the user to a website. The signals that get you cited in those answers overlap heavily with classic SEO: schema.org markup, clean Q→A content, entity consistency, structured data. The Site Readiness tool scores both at once.

  5. Can I use these on competitors?

    Yes — and you should. The fastest way to understand where you sit is to run the GBP auditor on yourself, then on three direct competitors, and compare. Same for the Site Readiness check. Every score is shown immediately without an email, so you can do it in an afternoon.

  6. Who built these?

    Ridiculously Good Looking (RGL) — a consulting and web development studio for local service businesses. The tools are the same diagnostics we run on every client in week one. We gave them away because they work, and the best introduction to the way we think is to see how we audit.
