Kiwi Web Design Launches Free Google Business Profile Audit Tool for Auckland Businesses

Auckland, New Zealand, 18 September 2026 — Kiwi Web Design has launched a free Google Business Profile audit tool designed to help Auckland small businesses quickly assess the strength of their local search presence.

The online scorecard takes around 60 seconds to complete and gives users a score out of 100, together with practical recommendations on what to improve first.

The tool reviews six key areas of a Google Business Profile:

* Recent and relevant business photos
* Active Google Business Profile posts
* Customer reviews and responses
* Useful questions and answers
* Accurate business categories
* A working and relevant website link

The scorecard does not require users to connect their Google account and does not collect Google Business Profile data.

Kiwi Web Design created the tool after identifying a common issue among local businesses: many create a Google Business Profile but rarely review or update it after the initial setup.

“Having a Google Business Profile is only the starting point,” said Charlie, owner of Kiwi Web Design. “For many local businesses, it is one of the first things a potential customer sees. The profile should help that customer understand the business, trust it and take the next step.”

The score should not be viewed as a prediction of Google Maps rankings. Local search visibility also depends on factors including relevance, customer location, competition, website quality and other online signals.

Instead, the scorecard is intended as a practical starting point for identifying obvious gaps.

Kiwi Web Design also highlights the connection between a Google Business Profile and the business website. A company may attract attention through Google Maps or local search but still lose the enquiry if the website is unclear, difficult to use or lacks an obvious next step.

The agency’s approach is to view local search as part of a wider customer journey: a potential customer searches for a service, finds the business, sees enough evidence to trust it, visits the website and then makes contact.

That contact may be a phone call, booking, quote request or online enquiry.
