1. Hubspot Marketing Grader

2. Hubspot Website Grader

3. Moz Local

4. Wordstream Performance Grader

5. Google My Business

Some of these may enter you into a sales process or follow-up email list. Full disclosure, we are a Hubspot Partner.  

How to interpret the results:
  • Hubspot Marketing Grader - A 50 is the average grade for an auto shop, a grade of 70 is the minimum acceptable score. 
  • Hubspot Website Grader - Again a grade of 70 is the minimum acceptable score. 
  • MozLocal - There is going to be a lot of work here for most businesses. Consolidate your duplicates. Gain access to anything you can edit and request support from those that you cannot.
  • Wordstream - The score is heavily weighted by account actions. Is someone actively working on your Adwords account. Then, is it optimized. You want to be at a score of 50-60 as a minimum, from there it may vary depending on the level of service you have with your account manager.
  • Google My Business - Very important for understanding how consumers are interacting with you on Google. Update your listing, respond to your reviews and log in regularly. 

Remember, these 5 sites are crucial to understand how your marketing is working for you. Bookmark all of them and check your scores monthly.
