How about in Google Maps?
When you’re trying to get your business showing up when people search on their phones, there are specific things you can do.
Your biggest problem with SEO right now is that your business isn’t showing up in the top 3 spots in Google when you search.
Or if it is showing up, it’s not #1.
When you aren’t showing up in the top 3 spots, you’re not getting as many people calling and visiting your business as you could be.
Fortunately, local SEO is very easy to do, and when you have the right things in place you can very easily rank your business in the top 3 spots, and even number 1.
Here’s what Google says about ranking in a local search:
1. Relevance – The more consistent and accurate your listings are, the more relevant your business will be to searches that people perform.
2. Distance – This consistency is going to affect how often your business shows up for people when they’re searching in Google Maps.
3. Prominence – Also, the consistency in your listings is going to affect your prominence. But you also need to focus on collecting more reviews from your current customers.
