Competitor Heatmap Analysis
We use Leadsnap to run a grid heatmap showing exactly where you rank vs competitors across Reading and your service area before we start.
Review Velocity Systems
A regular stream of new reviews is one of the top ranking signals. We build you a system so reviews come in consistently, not in bursts.
Citation Consistency
NAP (Name, Address, Phone) must match your GBP across every directory. We audit and fix inconsistencies that hurt your Maps ranking.
Service Area Signals
As a service area business, the pages and content on your website directly affect your Maps radius. We build the content Google needs to understand your coverage.
Monthly Heatmap Reports
Every month we send you a new heatmap showing your ranking movement across Reading. Real data, not vanity metrics.
The Three Factors Google Uses to Rank on Maps
Google ranks local businesses on Maps using three signals: relevance (how well your profile matches the search), distance (how close you are to the searcher), and prominence (how well-known and trusted you are).
We work on all three , fixing your GBP for relevance, building content that expands your distance reach, and building citations and reviews that boost your prominence.
- Relevance: GBP category + services + website content
- Distance: Service area pages for every town you cover
- Prominence: Reviews, citations, backlinks, mentions
- Weekly GBP posts to keep your profile active
- Photo uploads with geotagged metadata
