EBC Scorecard

See what is helping or holding back your local business online.

Answer a few plain questions. Get one useful result, one first action, one thing not to change yet, and one resource to use first.

Start here

Take a few minutes and get a clearer read on what to inspect first.

Answer based on how things work today. The result is there to make one next inspection easier, not to push you towards a one-size-fits-all answer.

You see one area that appears stronger and one area to inspect first.You are pointed to one useful resource in the free member area.You can ask a question if the result or resource is unclear.Nothing in the result promises revenue, rankings, enquiries, or AI outcomes.

The best result is not a high score. The best result is knowing what deserves attention before you spend more time, money, or headspace.

If you are unsure, choose the closest answer. The Scorecard is a starting point, not a full audit.

Best first step

Start with a clear view of where you are now.

Most owners do not need more noise. They need to know which part of the local business route to inspect first: unclear message, weak findability, thin proof, missed follow-up, or numbers that are hard to see.

The Scorecard gives you a sharper starting point. Your result should point to one useful resource in the free member area before any deeper conversation is considered.

Ask a question only if the result or resource is unclear. A person reviews that context before any fit conversation is suggested.

The useful questions

It looks at the simple signals that show what to inspect first.

The old mistake is to start with tools. The better move is to check whether the business is clear, visible, trusted, followed up, and measured enough before bigger changes are considered.

Customer clarity

Can people nearby understand who you help, why they might choose you, and where to find you?

Findability

Can the right nearby customer find and recognise your business when they are already looking?

Follow-up

When someone enquires, phones, messages, or goes quiet, does the next step happen reliably?

Measurement

Can you see a few useful numbers without needing complicated reports?

What it checks

A grounded look at clarity, findability, proof, follow-up, and numbers.

The Scorecard is inspired by the same questions a careful operator asks before spending money on another website, advert, tool, or consultant.

Whether the local customers you most want to reach are clear enough

How visible and up to date your Google Business Profile is

Whether your website clearly mentions the places you serve

Whether reviews and proof are easy for customers to see

Whether enquiries and follow-up rely too much on memory

Whether you check a few useful numbers each week

After the Scorecard

Your next step should match the result, not somebody else's sales script.

You may need a simple resource first. You may need a question answered. You may need nothing more than a clearer view of what to protect.

Repair

Inspect the foundations first

Start with one practical resource in the free member area. Do not try to fix everything at once.

Ask one specific question

Improve

Improve one weak point

Use the matching resource first. If you are still unsure after that, ask for a human review.

Ask about my result

Protect

Protect what is working

Use the result to check before changing anything. A person can review the context if you ask for help.

Request a human review

A Scorecard band never creates an automatic offer, proposal, payment request, booking, or outcome promise.

This score does not mean you should buy, rebuild, replace, or install anything.

Human review only when useful

If you ask for help, a person can review the result and the question you want to understand. A paid next step is never assigned by score alone.

Careful by default

No hype, no unsupported guarantees.

Use the result to inspect one area before making bigger decisions. A Scorecard result is not a promise of revenue, rankings, enquiries, or AI outcomes.

Start below. Your answers should lead to one useful result, one first action, and one resource before anyone suggests a conversation or deeper review.
