How Much Is Google Costing Your Business?
Your competitors are getting calls. Are they getting the ones you want?
Every day, people nearby search for exactly what you offer. If they find your competitors first, they may never know you exist. Let's take an honest look at where you stand.

A 3-Minute Business Checkup with Dr. Nick

The idea
Think of it like an annual physical — for your business.
When you get bloodwork done, the results don't make decisions for you. They reveal what's healthy, what's borderline, and what might need attention. Then you and your doctor talk it through.
Business bloodwork works the same way. We measure how visible you are to local customers on Google Search, Google Maps and AI assistants — and lay out the strengths, weaknesses and areas worth watching.
Then the decision is yours. No pressure, no lock-in.
We Diagnose.
You Decide.
Dr. Nick is a playful persona for a serious idea: you deserve clear information before spending a dollar on marketing.
What we measure
What business bloodwork measures
Search presence
Where you appear when people search for your service plus a town or ZIP code — not just your business name.
Maps & local pack
How your Google Business Profile shows up in the map results, and what details are complete or missing.
Reviews & reputation
Review volume, recency and response patterns compared with nearby competitors.
AI recommendations
Whether tools like ChatGPT mention your business when asked for a local recommendation.
Competitor landscape
Who is showing up instead of you, and what they appear to be doing differently.
Website signals
Basic clarity, speed and local relevance signals that search engines and visitors notice.
How customers find you
Local discovery happens in three places.
Google Search
Customers type a service and a place — "roofer 30309", "dentist near me". Google ranks local results on relevance, distance and prominence, so the businesses that explain themselves clearly and earn trust online tend to surface first.
Google Maps
For many local searches, a map with a short list of businesses appears above everything else. Those spots come from Google Business Profiles — categories, reviews, photos and accurate details all matter.
AI assistants
More people now ask ChatGPT and similar tools, "Who's a good plumber near me?" These tools draw on what's published about businesses across the web. If little is said about you, you may simply not come up.
Your competitors don't have to be better. They have to be found.
Most new customers never search your business name — they search for what they need. Whoever shows up in those moments gets the call.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Dr. Nick a real doctor?
No. Dr. Nick is a playful business-diagnostic persona. The "checkup" language is an analogy — we look at your business's online visibility, not anyone's health.
Will you tell me exactly how much revenue I'm losing?
No, and we'd be skeptical of anyone who claims to. Any opportunity estimate we share is an illustrative range built on stated assumptions (like search volume, click rates and your average job value) — not a guarantee or prediction.
Do I have to buy anything?
No. The self-assessment is free and you run it yourself. Whatever you learn, you decide what, if anything, to do next.
Can I learn this myself?
Absolutely. Our Resource Center is free and open, with a simple DIY exercise you can try in ten minutes.
Are you affiliated with Google?
No. Local Biz RX is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google.
Do I need to watch the video first?
Not at all. It's a helpful overview, but you can go straight to the assessment details any time.
