When the user wants to optimize for local search, set up Google Business Profile, or build local citations. Also use when the user mentions "local SEO," "Google Business Profile," "Google Maps," "NAP," "citations," "local search," "local business," or "service area." For location pages, use programmatic-seo.
Guides local SEO: Google Business Profile, NAP consistency, and citation building. Businesses with accurate NAP across 40+ authoritative sites see ~19% higher visibility in Google Maps. Use this skill when optimizing for local search, setting up GBP, or auditing citations.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read Sections 4 (Audience), 5 (Website).
Identify:
NAP = Name, Address, Phone. Critical for local rankings.
| Rule | Guideline | |------|-----------| | Exact match | "Street" vs "St." or "LLC" inconsistency = Google may treat as different entities | | Fix first | Audit and fix inconsistencies before adding new citations | | Tools | BrightLocal, Whitespark, Moz Local for audit |
| Element | Guideline | |---------|-----------| | Address | Physical address; no P.O. boxes | | Description | 750 chars; primary keywords in first 100 | | Hours | Accurate; seasonal availability | | Category | Primary category matches business type | | Service-area | Hide address if no storefront; define service areas |
Targeted precision over submitting to every directory.
Priority order:
Fix before adding; compounding errors harm rankings.
