Claude Cowork, Google Business Profile, Google Maps, Chrome

TL;DR
What did Sarvesh Shrivastava use Claude Cowork for?
A local SEO agency owner gives Claude Cowork access to Chrome, has it pull the top three Google Maps results for a service and city, and runs six audit prompts covering review pace, activity, categories, attributes, descriptions and posts. They say the whole audit takes about 10 minutes for any competitor in any city. In one example the top roofer had 66 reviews total but five in the last 30 days, which they treat as the real target.
What they did
Claude Cowork opens Google Maps in Chrome, searches the service plus city and takes the top three map-pack businesses. One prompt at a time it checks how many reviews each got in the last 30 days rather than the total; how recently each posted, replied to reviews or added photos; which primary and secondary categories they chose; their attributes; their business description, services list and names; and what kinds of Google posts they publish, ending with an 8-week posting plan.
How it went
They say the whole audit takes about 10 minutes for any competitor in any city. In one example the top roofer had 66 reviews total but five in the last 30 days, which they treat as the real target.
Worth knowing
- They say Claude occasionally pulls a directory into the competitor set instead of a real business, or misreads a category, so someone who knows local SEO should review the report before Cowork changes the live profile.
- Price check: Claude: free plan; Pro: US$20/month, or US$17/month on a yearly plan (US$200/year) (checked Nov 1, 2026).

Open Google Maps, search "[service] in [city]" and take the top three businesses in the map pack. For each, record how many reviews arrived in the last 30 days, when they last posted, replied to a review and added a photo, and their primary and secondary categories.
