Local SEO audit: find the poorly-ranked businesses of an area
Spot businesses without a website or with poor ratings in one query — your future SEO clients.
The problem
SEO agencies prospect blind: without days of work, you cannot know which businesses in an area have a website, their average rating, or where the competitive gaps are.
The workflow
- Free facets: GET /v1/places/facets?category=hairdresser&department=69&facet_by=city — density per city.
- Filter has_website=false and min_reviews=10: active businesses missing from the web.
- Export with rating and reviews_count fields to prioritize by existing social proof.
- Build your pitches: “34% of Lyon hairdressers have no website” opens doors.
The result
412 website-less prospects in the Rhône department, prioritized by review count, in under 5 minutes.
