Is your store dark?
A free check that shows what Google and the assistants return today for the searches your store should win, and what they show instead of you.
The searches that should end at your door
The checker covers your categories, your top products and your neighborhood, then reads Google Search, Google Maps and the assistants to see whether your shelf appears, who wins instead, and why.
Google Search
Does your store appear for your categories plus "near me", and do your products appear by name?
Google Maps
Does your Business Profile show a shelf, and does the "In stock" label appear on your listing?
The assistants
When someone asks who has it in stock nearby, are you cited, or is the chain?
Three tiers, plainly explained
Dark
None of your items are visible to nearby shoppers. Product searches go to competitors.
Half-dark
The business shows up, but the products don't. Store-name searches work, product searches don't.
Visible
Inventory is live and machine-readable. The near-me search can be won.
Being dark isn't a verdict, it's a starting line
The fix needs no new hardware and no new skills. Connect the POS you already run and your shelf goes on Google and on your own storefront, free. You pay 2% only when a delivery order comes through.
How honest is this? Honest
The checker reads public search results and public business listings. It cannot see your POS, so it cannot know your actual stock. It diagnoses visibility; it does not audit your store.
