How Does Local Maps SEO work?

You might be looking at the colorful images above and wondering what it all means. These images represent how one of our clients Google business profile is ranking around their business location for the keyword “car detailing near me.” the red image represents how they ranked before working with us. The green one shows how they rank now. 

The goal is to be in the top 3 search results as far out as possible from your GBP address. Google likes to show people businesses closest to them in search results. Our goal as a local Maps SEO team is to improve your GBP ranking the further you go out from your address in your local area. You typically will already show up #1-#3 if you are searching on your phone or computer while standing in your business location. The tricky part is ranking 5+ miles down the road. That is where we come in to help. 

Why Local Maps SEO is Important

Pull out your phone or open a new tab right now and Google search “Huntsville Marketing.” You will see that typically under paid ads, what is referred to as the “google map pack” shows up first in search results before the organic website listings. On mobile devices, next to these search results is a call button. Ranking your GBP in the first 3 spots of the map pack is a cheat code to getting more phone calls to your business. Executing local Maps SEO can drastically increase the # of phone calls you get. Sometimes, even double.
