If you're not in the top 3 on Google Maps, you are invisible.
And for local service businesses, the top 3 positions on Google Maps generate more than 200% more inquiries and leads than businesses outside of them.
That’s where the clicks go.
That’s where the calls go.
Here’s how to check where you rank:
Open your browser in incognito mode
Search “[your service]” + “[your area]”
Look at the map pack
If your business is not there, your competitors are getting the calls instead.
So how do you fix it?
• Optimize your Google Business Profile
• Use a clear business description
• Pick the right category
• Add your website and booking link
• Make sure your phone number is correct
• Ask for reviews consistently
• Reply to every review
• Upload your own photos from your phone, geo-tagged photos help
Most businesses lose local leads because their profile is incomplete.
Not because they are bad at what they do.
