Hurricane-Ready Local SEO Checker

When a storm hits Tampa Bay, customers search "open near me" before anything else. Check what you already have in place and get your storm-readiness score.

Florida businesses live and die by the storm window. The companies that stay visible — accurate Google Business Profile, fast mobile site, working phone line, fresh reviews — capture demand while competitors go dark. This free self-assessment scores your hurricane readiness across 12 proven signals. Tick every item you already have in place and watch your score update live. Nothing is sent anywhere — the whole tool runs in your browser.

Google Business Profile Profile claimed & verified+12 Claim and verify your GBP; it's the first thing "open near me" searches surface. Hours updated fast with Special Hours+10 Set special hours / "temporarily closed" the moment service changes, so you're never shown open when you're not. Real-time updates via GBP Posts+8 Announce "we're open," generator power or reopening; these surface during the storm window. Service area & "near me" set correctly+6 Define your true service area so you appear for nearby searches across Tampa Bay.

Website & Speed Homepage shows current operating status+9 A status banner ("Open — running on generator") answers the one question every post-storm visitor has. Mobile site loads on weak connections+8 After a storm people are on degraded cellular; a heavy page won't load. Compress images, trim scripts. LocalBusiness schema with opening hours+7 Add LocalBusiness schema (incl. special opening hours) so engines and AI know your status precisely.

Communication Calls reach you if the office line is down+10 Forward your business line to a mobile so storm calls don't hit a dead line. Clear emergency / after-hours contact path+6 Give one obvious way to reach you outside normal hours. Active channel for live updates+5 Keep one social channel current as a real-time source when your site or GBP lags.

Trust NAP consistent across Google, Apple Maps, Yelp+7 Mismatched name/address/phone splits your visibility exactly when you need all of it. Recent reviews (last 90 days)+6 When people choose fast in a crisis, fresh reviews win the click.
