The map results at the top of Google get more clicks than the regular listings below them. We make sure you're in that map pack.
When someone searches for a local service, Google shows a map with three businesses listed underneath it. Those three results get about 42% of the clicks on the page. If you're not in that box, you're competing for the remaining traffic with everyone else.
Your Google Business Profile (what used to be called Google My Business) is what controls whether you appear in those results. It's free to set up, but most tradesmen either don't have one, set it up once and forgot about it, or filled in the bare minimum. That's a problem because Google rewards profiles that are complete, active, and well-reviewed.
A plumber in Salford came to us with 2 Google reviews and no photos on his listing. Within three months of us managing his profile, he had 18 reviews (averaging 4.8 stars), appeared in the map pack for "plumber Salford," and was getting 15-20 calls a month directly from his Google listing. That's calls he wasn't getting before, without spending a penny on ads.
