Lesson 15 of 1812 minBeginner
Reviews, tracking and scale
Responding to reviews, including bad ones
Respond to everything within 48 hours. A calm, specific reply to a one-star review reassures far more readers than the review upsets.
Why this lesson matters
This lesson belongs to Reviews, tracking and scale, the part of Local SEO Mastery where the goal is: turn local seo into a repeatable operation.
Read it once, then do it straight away on a real site inside RankLocal. Nothing here is theory for its own sake — every step produces something you can show a client.
Do it now
- 1Open RankLocal with sample data already loaded, so you are not stuck on setup.
- 2Audit the local footprint.
- 3Run a grid scan for your main keyword and record the percentage of grid points where you appear in the top three.
