Tonight's Google access checklist
Google access checklist
- Confirm the GBP state: verified / unverified / suspended / never claimed → decides claim vs. fix.
- Check Maps for duplicate or wrong pins under Home Inspection Experts, Cal West, or schomeinspect.
- Pull the real Google review count + star rating → fill the Google Business Profile row in the NAP table (on the Google Audit page).
- Confirm which Google account owns the profile so we know whose access to request.
How Kevin gets added (Manager invite)
How Kevin gets added — your side, first time
- Jeannine adds your Google account email as a Manager (steps in the blue "how to give us access" box on the Google Audit page). Must be a real Google account — Kevin@jigowattmedia.com works if it's on Google Workspace; otherwise use or create a Gmail.
- You'll get an email invite from Google → click Accept. Done — you're now a Manager and can edit the profile, posts, photos, and review replies.
- Manager = edit everything except removing people / deleting the profile. Owner = full control. Ask her for Manager — the standard agency role.
- If it's unclaimed, click "Claim this business" on the profile and complete Google's verification (postcard / phone / video).
Website redirect plan
Website redirect — the plan (once we have access)
- Find out who manages the site first — she may have a "web guy." If so, the fastest path is to coordinate with them, not collect logins.
- Full-path 301: redirect every schomeinspect.com URL → the matching homeinspectionexperts.com page (not just the home page, which is all that's done now).
- WordPress: easiest is the free Redirection plugin or a host-level rule; we add the Administrator user she creates.
- Google Search Console: submit the old URLs for removal + resubmit the sitemap so the stale pages drop out of the index.
- Old domain: keep schomeinspect.com registered (don't let it expire) so the redirect keeps working.

SEO — working notes
SEO — working notes
- Get a keyword tool for real search volumes (Google Keyword Planner free tier) — current list is intent-based, not volume-verified.
- Blogs likely fall under the Website $1,500/mo contract — confirm scope with Jim/Kevin before committing cadence.
- On-page + technical + schema = execute during the Website Refresh (page 3).
- Sequence: finish Google Audit (GBP/citations) → publish first 4 blogs → build service/city pages with the site refresh.
