# Business Report Card

> Business Report Card sells a single product: a one-time Visibility, Authority and Trust Assessment that
> scores one business's online visibility, authority and trust against a fixed
> rubric and returns a graded report card plus a prioritized list of recommended
> immediate improvements. It serves business owners and operators in the United
> States who want an independent measurement of their online position, including
> owners auditing an existing marketing vendor and buyers evaluating a business.
> The model is deliberately transactional: no retainer, no contract, no recurring
> charge, and no implementation work. Grades and recommendations are point-in-time
> observations produced from publicly available information and are not guarantees
> of rankings, traffic, leads or revenue. Business Report Card is a property of James Joshua Beistle.
