CT Web Design Shop Launches $19 Local SEO Audit Checklist for Upstate South Carolina Businesses

GREENVILLE, S.C., July 18, 2026 — CT Web Design Shop Inc., an Upstate South Carolina web design and digital marketing agency with more than 20 years of experience, today announced the launch of the Local SEO Audit Checklist & Action Plan, a $19 self-guided audit that helps local business owners identify exactly why competitors are outranking them in Google search and maps results.

The checklist is available immediately as an instant download to businesses throughout the Upstate SC region, including Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Greer, Simpsonville, Mauldin, Taylors, Easley, Fountain Inn, Travelers Rest, and Clemson.

What the Checklist Covers

The Local SEO Audit Checklist is organized into seven sections covering Google Business Profile, NAP (name, address, phone) consistency, local citations, on-page local SEO, reviews and reputation, local backlinks, and technical SEO basics. Across those sections, the checklist scores 83 individual factors, giving business owners a section-by-section breakdown of where their local search visibility is weakest.

Rather than presenting a generic to-do list, the checklist converts each business's specific results into a 90-day action plan, sequencing fixes in the order expected to have the greatest impact on local rankings.

Twenty Years of Manual Audits, Now Self-Serve

"I've run some version of this audit by hand for clients for about 20 years, and the problems are almost always the same ones," said Clifton Canady, founder of CT Web Design Shop Inc. "A wrong Google Business Profile category, inconsistent business information across directories, reviews nobody ever responds to. None of it is complicated once you know where to look. I finally wrote it down instead of keeping it in my head."

Canady said the goal of releasing the checklist as a low-cost, self-serve product is to make an accurate diagnostic available to business owners before they decide whether they need outside help fixing what it finds.

"A business that looks worse than its competitor's website can still outrank it, and that confuses people. It's rarely about design. It's a specific set of factors Google checks that almost nobody checks themselves. This gives every local business owner a way to check them in one sitting." Clifton Canady, Founder, CT Web Design Shop Inc.

Who the Checklist Is For

The Local SEO Audit Checklist is aimed at local business owners who want to understand their search visibility gaps without hiring an agency first. It is also positioned as a verification tool for businesses that already work with an SEO provider, since every item in the checklist reflects work a local SEO engagement should address in its first 30 days.

• Local service businesses competing for map pack visibility
• Retail and restaurant businesses with a single physical location
• Businesses currently paying for ads but with no organic search strategy
• Business owners who want to verify their current SEO provider's work
