What decides your rank on the map
Google ranks the map on three factors. Almost every ranking problem comes down to one of them.
Relevance
How well your profile matches what the customer typed. Your primary category and services drive this.
Distance
How close your verified business location is to the person searching. Service-area settings tell customers where you work, but they do not guarantee broader rankings.
Prominence
How trusted Google considers you. Reviews, consistent listings, and your website feed this.
Prominence is your gap
Fix it, climb the map
What we improve to support higher rankings
Google considers relevance, distance, and prominence. Distance is not fully in your control, so we focus on the profile, review, listing, and website signals you can improve.
Rank tracking
See where you rank across your service area
We run a geo-grid across your service area, so you can see the zip codes where you rank and the ones where you fall out of the results. This shows us where to target the work and tracks your movement over time.

Category & profile
Strengthen the category signals behind your relevance
Your primary category strongly influences which searches Google considers relevant to your business. We match it accurately to your trade and complete the supporting services, service area, and hours.

Listings & NAP
Correct the listings that send mixed signals
When your name, phone, or address does not match across the web, customers can reach the wrong details and search systems receive conflicting information. We correct the mismatches at the directories and data sources that feed your listings.
