What this skill tells the agent

SEO: Local

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.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read Sections 4 (Audience), 5 (Website).

Identify:

  1. Business type: Storefront vs service-area
  2. Location: Single or multiple
  3. Current listings: Existing GBP, directories

NAP Consistency

NAP = Name, Address, Phone. Critical for local rankings.

RuleGuideline
Exact match"Street" vs "St." or "LLC" inconsistency = Google may treat as different entities
