I use this exact checklist to find the “quick wins” for businesses on Route 114. It’s the first step I take before any Forensic Cleanup or Map Pack Domination.

  • Check your “Ghost Locations”: See if data conflicts are hiding your business from Apple and Google.

  • Audit Your Top 3: Find out exactly why your competitors are outranking you.

  • Naming Rule Check: Ensure you aren’t violating the strict 2026 naming standards that lead to “Not Approved” limbo.
