Ranking higher on Google Maps

When someone searches for a local business, Google shows a map with a shortlist of businesses at the very top — the "local pack". These three listings capture the lion's share of clicks and calls, because they appear above everything else and come with ratings, hours and a one-tap call button.

Google Maps ranking is the work of getting your business into that shortlist for the searches that matter. It's closely tied to your Google Business Profile, your reviews, and the consistency of your business information across the web.

What Google looks at

Relevance

How well your business matches what someone is searching for. We optimise your profile categories, services and description so Google understands exactly what you do.

Distance

How close you are to the searcher. We make sure your location and service areas are set correctly so you appear for the right nearby searches.

Prominence

How established and active your business appears. Reviews, profile activity and consistent information all build the prominence that lifts you up the rankings.

Improving your Maps ranking is really about doing the fundamentals brilliantly — which is exactly what our Google Business Profile management service delivers. We keep your profile complete and active, build the reviews that drive prominence through ReviewBoost, and strengthen your wider local footprint with Local SEO.
