Local SEO · Google Maps

The top three on Google Maps get the calls. Are you one of them?

When someone nearby searches for what you do, Google shows a map and three businesses before anything else. That’s the map pack, and it’s where people call, get directions and decide. We get you into it.

The short version

What local SEO and the map pack are.

  1. 01

    Local SEO is everything that helps Google show your business to people nearby who are searching for what you do, on Google Search and Google Maps.

  2. 02

    The map pack is the box of three businesses with a map that Google puts at the top of searches like “roofer near me,” above the regular results.

  3. 03

    Why it matters. Those three get the calls, the direction requests and the website visits. On a phone, most people never scroll past them.

How Google picks the three

Relevance, distance and prominence.

Google says local results are based mainly on these three things. You can’t move your building, but you can win on the other two.

Relevance

How well your profile and website match what someone searched. Clear categories, services and pages tell Google exactly what you do.

Distance

How close you are to the searcher. Accurate service areas and location pages help you show up across the towns you actually serve.

Prominence

How well known and trusted you are: your reviews and rating, mentions across the web, and how strong your website is in search.

How we get you in

What we do, month after month.

  1. 01

    Google Business Profile, built out

    The right primary and secondary categories, every service, hours, photos and regular posts, so your profile answers the search.

  2. 02

    A steady flow of reviews

    A simple way to ask happy customers for a review, and a reply to every review that comes in, good or bad.

  3. 03

    The same name, address and phone everywhere

    We clean up your listings across directories so Google sees one consistent business, not three versions of it.

  4. 04

    A website that backs it up

    Service and location pages plus local schema, so the site confirms everything your profile says.

  5. 05

    Fast on every phone

    Hand-built sites that load in under two seconds, because most “near me” searches happen on a phone.

  6. 06

    Reporting you can read

    Where you rank, and the calls, direction requests and visits it brings in, in plain English.
