- Read the Index's method before comparing its counts.
2. Check your starting point
- Run the free scan or name checker.
- Save answers and links, including answers that do not name you.
- Check whether a named rival really offers your service in your area.
- Write down one factual error or missing detail you can correct.
3. Put your Google profile and reviews in order
- Check eligibility and every public profile field.
- Update ordinary and holiday opening hours.

5. Make your website's facts easy to check
- Check your contact and service pages for missing or outdated facts.
- Generate schema using only details shown on your site.
- Validate the markup and inspect what the live page serves.

- Link the answer from the relevant service page and give a clear next step.
7. Measure progress without chasing one answer

- Record names, factual accuracy, sources and failed requests separately.
- Log each published change before comparing a later sample.
- Compare enquiries alongside mentions before choosing the next task.
