This is what winning on Google looks like for a local business.

This map is a chiropractor client of mine in Opelika. 133 spots on the map were checked for "chiropractor opelika" — they rank in the top 3 at every single one. Average position: 2.41.

Second photo: 191. That's how many phone calls came straight from their Google listing in October. Not ads. People searching, finding them, and tapping call.

Rankings are nice. Ringing phones pay the bills.

People don't read every review before deciding what they think about your business.

**68% form an opinion after reading just 1–6 reviews.** ⭐

That means the reviews showing up first—and your most recent ones—can make a big impression.

**What are your latest reviews saying about your business?**

09/26/2026

The average local business has about **39 Google reviews.**

But in competitive industries like HVAC, plumbing, and roofing, the bar can be much higher.

Your customers aren’t comparing you to the average.

**They’re comparing you to your competition.** ⭐

More reviews. More visibility. More opportunities to get the call.
