Local SEO Checker — Google Maps & 3-Pack Rankings

Local SEO checker flagged missing geo coordinates in my LocalBusiness schema. Added them and within 3 weeks moved from outside the 3-pack to position 2 for my main service term.

The NAP consistency check is brilliant. Found that my address was formatted differently across 6 directory listings. Fixed them all and local rankings stabilised significantly.

Opening hours in schema is one most people miss. Make sure your schema hours exactly match your Google Business Profile hours. Any mismatch seems to confuse Google's local ranking signals.

How important is the Google Maps embed for local SEO? The checker flagged mine as missing.

It's a trust signal rather than a direct ranking factor. Google can see your site references a real physical location. Worth adding — takes 2 minutes and the checker stops flagging it.
