# SEO Near You

> SEO Near You (https://seonearyou.com) offers free local SEO tools and plain-English guides for industrial and trade businesses whose buyers search "near me": pallet yards, recyclers and scrap yards, dumpster and roll-off rental, machine shops, equipment rental, and commercial HVAC, electrical and other trades. It is aimed at owner-operators and office managers, not marketers.

Status: the grader, page planner and guides are free with no account. A human-reviewed audit service is planned but not open; there is a waitlist. Prices and contract terms have not been published.

## Free tools

- [Local SEO grader](https://seonearyou.com/grader): fetches one public page the visitor enters (https only, up to 3 redirects, 8 s, 2 MB) and scores 10 on-page checks, each pass/warn/fail with evidence: Page title; Meta description and indexing; Main heading (H1); Name, address, phone; LocalBusiness structured data; Mobile viewport; Canonical URL; Internal links; Image alt text; Page weight. It does not see Google Business Profiles, rankings or reviews, does not run JavaScript, and makes no traffic or ranking estimates. Results are kept 30 days at an unlisted link.
- [Service-area page planner](https://seonearyou.com/page-planner): runs in the browser. Takes up to 10 services and 25 towns, asks which local signals exist in each town, and outputs a page plan (build, one area page, or list only) with URLs, doorway-page flags and a CSV export.

## Services (the four fixes, explained)

- [Service-area pages](https://seonearyou.com/services/service-area-pages): A service-area page is a page about one service in one real area you serve, with details only that area has: delivery times, permits, sites you work at, the people who cover it. Build one only where you can write those details. Everywhere else, list the town on a single service-area page.
- [Google Business Profile](https://seonearyou.com/services/google-business-profile): A Google Business Profile drives the map pack. For an industrial business, the fixes are: the real business name with no keywords, the most accurate primary category, a verified real location (address hidden if customers don't visit), service areas, correct hours including holidays, real photos, and a website link to the matching page.
- [Citations and NAP consistency](https://seonearyou.com/services/citations-and-nap): A citation is any listing of your business name, address and phone (NAP) on another site: Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, industry directories, the chamber of commerce. The fix is to make every important listing match your website and Google Business Profile exactly, starting with the data sources and the listings buyers actually use.
- [AI search readiness](https://seonearyou.com/services/ai-search-readiness): AI assistants answer "near me" questions from pages they can crawl and understand. Getting ready means letting the right crawlers in, stating your business facts as plain text and in LocalBusiness structured data, answering buyers' common questions directly on the page, and keeping those facts identical everywhere they appear.
