📊 IDEA #04 — BUSINESS PROFILE AUDIT + SOP
Status: 🟡 In Progress — @Austin Brown is working this. Join the thread. THE PROBLEM Every local business in America is leaving money on the table. Their Google profile is incomplete. Their reviews are unmanaged. Their online presence is inconsistent. Their internal processes are bloated and manual. They have no idea — and nobody has ever shown them a better way. They're not going to find the solution by Googling it. They're too busy running the business. You walk in, show them the problem, hand them the solution, and charge for the service. WHAT YOU'RE BUILDING A Claude-powered business audit that analyzes a local business's full online presence — website, Google profile, reviews, social, local SEO — and produces a prioritized SOP (Standard Operating Process) telling them exactly what to fix and in what order for the biggest impact. The output is a professional report with a clear action list. They can implement it themselves or hire you to do it for them. Either way, you get paid. Austin Brown already closed a $500 sale with a laundromat doing exactly this. He delivered the report and SOP in the same week. THE 9/10 PLAN Phase 1 — Build your audit template with Claude (Days 1–2) Open Claude and paste this prompt: "I'm building a local business audit service. Help me create a comprehensive audit checklist for a local service business (laundromat, body shop, plumber, restaurant, etc.). Cover: Google Business Profile completeness, review count and average rating, website quality and mobile experience, social media presence, local SEO signals, and internal process gaps. For each category, give me 5 specific things to check and a simple score of 1–3. At the end, output a prioritized 'Top 3 things to fix first' with specific action steps. Make this easy enough that I can run it on any business in under an hour." Save this template. That's your product. Phase 2 — Run it on a real business for free (Days 2–4) Pick a local business — one you actually visit, or one you noticed has obvious problems (low reviews, bad photos, no website). Tell them you're doing a free audit as part of a project. No pitch yet. Run the audit. Generate the report with Claude.
