Four questions. A clearer picture of where you stand.

Open each row and note what you know. Answers are not saved and do not generate an automatic score. When evidence is missing, the correct status is check rather than guess.

01Google’s ruleDoes the business meet customers in person?

You may be eligible if you receive customers at a staffed location or visit them yourself to perform or deliver the service there. A business operating only online is not eligible.

See whether you are eligible for a profile
02Google’s ruleAre the Google profile details correct?

Check the actual business name, correct main category, address or service area, opening hours, phone and website. Extra categories and keywords do not make the profile more accurate.

Review the details
03CheckCan Google find and understand the right page?

Check whether standard links reach the page, Google knows the address, and the title, main heading and visible content answer the same question.

See whether Google can find your page
04Nolera recommendsDoes the page keep the same promise after the click?

The search result, heading, first answer and contact button should continue the same idea. Then measure impressions, clicks and real enquiries as different events.

Check the contact journey

Explanation 02 · from question to action

A search result is a promise. The page must keep it.

Google may display a different title or text from what you wrote. Visitors should still feel they are in the right place when opening your page.

Check the whole chain
  1. 01
    Search query

    What does the person want to understand or do?

  2. 02
    Title

    Which clear answer does the page promise?

  3. 03
    Main heading

    Does the page immediately confirm the visitor is in the right place?

  4. 04
    First answer

    Does the question receive a clear answer without a detour?

  5. 05
    Action

    Does the contact button continue the same idea?

From impression to customer · five different steps

A click is not automatically a customer.

Measure each transition separately and state the period and source. When data is missing, the value is unknown, not zero.

  1. 01Impression

    A result or profile was shown.

  2. 02Click

    Someone opened the page or action.

  3. 03Enquiry

    A verifiable contact was submitted.

  4. 04Booked call

    Both parties confirmed a time.

  5. 05Customer

    A project was actually agreed.
