What keeps contractors out of the Map Pack

You can't see the whole map

Searching your own business from your office tells you very little. Your ranking can change from one neighborhood to the next.

An inactive profile

Missing services, outdated details, and no recent posts make your profile harder to choose.

A slow trickle of reviews

Without a simple process for asking, reviews stall while competitors keep collecting them.

What's included

  • Geo-grid rank tracking across your service area
  • Profile cleanup: categories, services, and business details
  • Weekly and monthly Google Business Profile posts
  • A process for requesting new reviews
  • Citation management
  • Website review so your site supports your profile

How we work on your rankings

01

Map your starting point

A geo-grid report shows where you're visible, where you aren't, and who's ahead of you.

02

Fix the foundations

We correct your profile and citations and set up a steady way to ask for reviews.

03

Keep it active

We publish regular posts, keep reviews coming, and re-check your rankings so you can see what's changing.

What helps a Google Business Profile rank in the Map Pack

Relevance, distance, and prominence

Google says local results are based mainly on these three things. You can't change where a searcher is standing, but you can improve the rest: accurate categories and services for relevance, and reviews, citations, and your website for prominence.

Choose your categories with care

Your primary category tells Google what your business mainly does, so it should match your core work. Add secondary categories and services only when they're true, then keep your hours, service areas, and business details accurate.

Look at the whole map

Rankings change from one neighborhood to the next. A geo-grid report checks your position at many points across your service area, so you can see exactly where you're strong and where competitors are ahead of you.

Earn reviews steadily, and connect your website

Ask real customers soon after each job and reply to the reviews you receive. Never buy reviews, because that breaks Google's rules. Your website supports your profile too, so its services and business details should match.

Answers to common questions

How long does GBP optimization take to work?+

It often takes 30 to 90 days to see rankings move, depending on your profile and your local competition.

Can you guarantee a top 3 ranking?+

No. Google controls the rankings, and they vary with where the searcher is. What we can do is the work that improves your position, and show you the map as it changes.

I work from home. Can my address stay hidden?+

Yes. Google lets service-area businesses hide their address and list the areas they serve instead.

What is a geo-grid report?+

It's a map showing where your business ranks for a search at many points across your service area. It gives you a much clearer picture than searching from your own office.

How many Google reviews does a contractor need?+

There's no magic number. A practical target is to look at the businesses already in the Map Pack near you, then build a steady flow of recent, genuine reviews to compete with them.
