How this score is calculatedWhat This Means
Brooklyn Heights Promenade scores 79 of 100, a B grade, which the scale reads as above average. That is below the current median of 80 across audits run with this tool.
The strongest areas are Photos & Visual Content at 100 of 100 and Review Rating at 100 of 100.
One category needs urgent attention: Website & Online Presence at 10 of 100. Scores under 30 mark a gap significant enough to hold back the areas that are working.
Resolving the 3 quick wins below is worth 18 points on this scale, which would move the score to 97 of 100 and a A+ grade.

GBPcentral issues a Gold Excellence Award to businesses scoring 90 or higher on this audit and meeting the full published criteria for their business category.

Critical Issues
Google Policy Check
Google's Business Profile guidelines ask for the real-world business name in the name field, with services, locations, and marketing wording kept in the fields built for them. This matters because Google can suspend listings over name issues, and a suspension would take everything this report measures offline with it. This check reads the name as Google currently publishes it and does not affect the score above.

- Note
- Google reports at most 10 photo references for a listing. A listing showing 10 may hold many more, so this category is scored within that limit and does not distinguish between them.
What to do
- Google's public data reports at most 10 photos, so we cannot see the full library. Listings in Parks & Outdoors typically carry 10 to 25 photos. Keep adding current photos across the exterior, interior, team, and what the business sells.
