Thank you, Maria. A broken tooth on a weekend is stressful, and we are glad we could see you quickly. We hope it feels much better now, and we look forward to seeing you at your follow-up.

The directories, checked monthly

Gralus checks whether your business is on the main directories for your country, such as Yelp, Yell, Yellow Pages, Better Business Bureau, Nextdoor, Facebook and Foursquare, and whether each listing shows the same phone number and postcode as your Google profile.

  • A task with the link and the details to paste for each one to fix
  • Bing Places and Apple Business Connect listed for you to claim
  • Gralus never signs up or submits anything for you

Your profile and your website

Same details everywhere
Your home page is checked against the profile: business name, phone, address and LocalBusiness markup. Anything different becomes a task.
Profile gaps
An unclaimed listing, missing hours, photos or description, each with what to do.
Google posts
When Gralus publishes a page or article, it drafts a short post about it for your profile, ready to copy.
LocalBusiness markup
Built from your profile and added to every page by the plugin, after you approve it.

Questions about local SEO

Does Gralus sign in to my Google Business Profile?+

No. It reads public Google Maps data through DataForSEO and never changes anything on Google.

Can it post replies and updates for me?+

No. It drafts them; you copy and post them on Google. That keeps every word on your profile under your control.

Which directories are checked?+

The main ones for your country. In the UK, for example, Yell and Thomson Local; in the US, Yelp, Yellow Pages and the Better Business Bureau.

Is local SEO in every plan?+

Yes, on every plan, for every site.
