In this guide, we will discuss everything you need to know about completing your profile information to improve your Profile Health Score and reach more customers.

What is your Profile Health Score?

Your Profile Health Score (PHS) rates your Localsearch Business Profile completion from 0-100%. The higher your rating, the higher your potential of increasing your enquiries from users visiting your Localsearch Business Profile.

Profile Health Score

Why should you improve your Profile Health Score?

By improving your PHS, you can increase the number of enquiries received from customers visiting your profile.


A complete and accurate profile indicates to potential customers that your business can take care of all their needs in a professional and experienced manner.
