From the sample report
Who's the best emergency plumber in Swindon for a burst pipe?
ChatGPT
For a burst pipe in Swindon, people often recommend: 1. Coldbrook Plumbing — known for fast emergency call-outs and strong Google reviews. 2. Larkmead Heating & Plumbing — a family-run firm with clear, upfront pricing. Both cover the whole town, so it's worth ringing more than one.

What we check
Everything that decides who gets the call
Google Maps, AI assistants, your Google profile and your website each decide part of it. The audit covers all four.
Google Maps rank grid
Where you rank on Google Maps at 49 points across your service area, for the search your customers type most.
Google Business Profile
Your category, services, hours and photos, and whether your name, address and phone match your website.
Reviews
Your rating and review count next to the businesses that rank above you.
AI chatbots and AI answers
Whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers mention you when someone asks for your trade in your area, and who they name instead.
Website speed and on-page SEO
How fast your homepage loads on a phone, plus your page titles, headings, service-area wording and the business markup Google reads.
Competitors
The businesses that take the top spots near you, with their ratings, reviews and load times.
Who's behind your audit
Ankor AI. Getting local businesses found.
We're a local SEO agency based in Haddenham, Buckinghamshire, working with trade and local service businesses across the UK. We focus on one thing: getting them found by the right people in the right places.
Most of the businesses we speak to have tried SEO before and got a monthly report full of graphs and jargon. We report in plain English, and when we look at your listings, your rankings and your competitors, you get a straight answer.
Software does the measuring, because checking 49 map positions, your Google profile and your competitors by hand would take days. We go through what it means for your business with you, and put the fixes in the order we'd work on them ourselves.

Questions
Why is the audit free?+
Because it's the clearest way to show you what we'd fix and why. You keep the report either way. No obligation, no hard sell.
What exactly do I get?+
A private report with your overall score, your Google Maps rankings as a grid, what AI assistants answer when customers ask for your trade, your Google profile and review gaps, your mobile speed, how you compare with the businesses ranking above you, and a list of fixes in the order we'd do them.
Can I talk to someone about my results?+
Yes. We'll ring you to go through the findings and what to fix first, in plain English. Ask anything; there's no obligation.
Is the audit automated?+
The data collection is. Software measures your map rankings, reads your Google profile and runs the speed tests, because doing that by hand would take days. Every report is checked before it's sent, and the order of the fixes is ours.
How long does it take?+
Within 48 hours of your request.
What if I don't have a Google Business Profile?+
We still run the audit. Without a profile you can't appear on Google Maps, so setting one up becomes the first fix in your report, with the steps to do it.
Which businesses is this for?+
Trade and local service businesses across the UK: plumbers, electricians, roofers, builders, landscapers, cleaners, pest controllers, locksmiths and more. If customers find you by searching for your trade near them, the audit shows where you stand.
