    Why this matters

    Why a Google Business Profile check is essential

    Your Google Business Profile is the first thing potential customers see. An optimized profile attracts more customers and helps you rank higher on Google Maps.

    Customers check reviews first

    93% of consumers read reviews before making a purchase or booking a service.

    Your profile determines trust

    Your Google Business Profile is often the first point of contact. An incomplete profile scares away customers.

    Few reviews cost customers

    Businesses with few or outdated reviews lose visibility in local search results.

    How the scan works

    1. 1

      We find your business

      We look up your business by name and city in public Google Maps data. Nothing to connect, no access to grant.

    2. 2

      We read the profile

      Score, review count, reply rate, categories, photos, opening hours and the most recent reviews are collected.

    3. 3

      We compare with competitors

      We pick local businesses in the same category and put your numbers next to theirs, so you see where you actually stand.

    4. 4

      Action plan

      The AI writes a report with the main bottlenecks, what standing still costs you, and which step has the biggest impact.

    What the scan can and cannot see

    Visible to the scan

    • Average score and total review count
    • How many reviews received a reply
    • Primary and secondary categories
    • Photo count and how recent they are
    • Public reviews and recurring themes
    • Competitors in the same category and city

    Not visible to the scan

    • Your Google Insights data such as searches and directions
    • Removed or filtered reviews
    • Your exact local map position per keyword
    • Messages and questions in your Google inbox

    Reading your result

    The report gives a score per area. Here is how to weigh those areas against each other:

    AreaWhy it mattersFix first when…
    Review countUnder 30 reviews, a single bad review immediately moves your score.you have fewer than 30 reviews
    Reply rateVisitors read replies to judge whether a business pays attention.fewer than 80% of your reviews have a reply
    CategoryA wrong primary category costs visibility on the searches you want.your primary category is not your core service
    PhotosProfiles with recent photos get more clicks than profiles without.your last photo is older than three months

    Worked example

    A dental practice with 5.0 stars and 21 reviews looked perfect on paper. The scan put the neighbourhood practices next to it:

    PracticeScoreReviewsReplies
    This practice5,0 ★210%
    Competitor A4,8 ★18496%
    Competitor B4,7 ★14271%
    Competitor C4,9 ★9788%

    The report's conclusion: the score is not the problem, the volume is. At 21 reviews a patient reads 5.0 as 'not enough evidence'. A profile with 4.8 and 184 reviews wins that comparison almost every time.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I need to connect my Google account?

    No. The scan only uses public data from your Google Business Profile. Connecting is only needed if you want to reply to reviews from inside RecensioAI.

    How long does a scan take?

    Usually 30 to 90 seconds. Collecting competitor data and writing the report takes most of that time.

    How do you pick my competitors?

    We look for businesses with the same primary category in the same city and pick the best performing profiles. If you see a business from another industry, that profile usually has a very broad primary category.

    Can I share the report?

    Yes. You get a shareable link and a PDF download. The share link is valid for 10 days and is deleted afterwards.

    Is the scan really free?

    Yes, no credit card. We only ask for an email address so we can send the report and limit abuse.

    Methodology & sources

    The scan pulls public profile data through the Google Places API and analyses it with a language model. The reply rate is calculated over the reviews the API returns (a sample of your most recent reviews), not over your full history.

    Competitors are selected on primary category and city. Benchmark values come from our analysis of public profiles of local businesses in Western Europe and the US. They are guidelines, not predictions.
