The map pack, won

The single biggest local ranking factor

Your Google Business Profile decides whether you appear in the map pack — the three local results that sit above everything else and take most of the calls. Google Business Profile — formerly Google My Business — is the single biggest local ranking factor, and a dedicated Google Business Profile specialist — or Google My Business consultant — makes the difference between page two and the map pack.

Our Google local SEO service covers the full picture: Google Business Profile optimisation, local maps SEO, posts, Q&A and review management — every signal Google uses to decide who ranks in the local map pack.

Why it matters

Your customers are searching Google. Are you showing up?

Around 87% of people check a business on Google before they get in touch. If your profile isn’t in the top three of the map pack, those calls go to competitors instead — every single day.

A fully optimised Google Business Profile can earn up to 7× more clicks, and 64% of searchers use it to find a company’s contact details. Optimised properly, your profile turns local searches into calls, directions and bookings.

  • Rank in the top 3 of Google Maps for high-intent local searches
  • Win more profile calls, direction requests and website clicks
  • Outrank nearby competitors across your service area
  • Build review velocity that protects your ranking long-term
  • Recover suspended or restricted profiles when needed

How the map pack works

Relevance, distance and prominence

Google ranks the map pack on three things. We work all three so your profile earns a top-three spot for the searches that matter.

  • 01Relevance — categories, services and content that match what people search.
  • 02Distance — signals that tie you clearly to the areas you serve.
  • 03Prominence — reviews, citations and links that build trust.

Questions

Answered

What is Google Business Profile optimisation?
It’s the work of setting up and continually improving your Google Business Profile — categories, services, photos, posts and reviews — so you rank in the map pack and Google Maps for local searches.
How long until I rank in the map pack?
Most businesses see movement within 6–8 weeks, with stronger gains by month three. Competitive areas take a little longer.
Do reviews really affect rankings?
Yes — review quantity, quality and recency are a well-known local ranking and conversion factor. We help you generate more the ethical way.
Can you manage multiple locations?
Yes. We manage multi-location and franchise profiles, keeping categories, data and reporting consistent across every branch.
What’s in the free audit?
A review of your current profile, rankings, reviews and top local competitors, plus a prioritised list of fixes. No obligation.
Do I need a Google Business Profile expert?
You can manage a profile yourself, but a Google Business Profile expert knows which categories, attributes, posts and review signals actually move the map pack — and avoids the mistakes that get listings suspended. Most businesses see faster results with a specialist.
Are you Google My Business experts or GBP experts?
Same thing — Google My Business was renamed Google Business Profile. Our team are Google My Business experts and GBP specialists; the tools changed name, the ranking work didn’t.
What does a GBP consultant actually do?
Our Google Business Profile consultants audit your listing, fix categories and NAP, optimise your description and services, build a review and posting routine, add photos, and track your map-pack rankings month to month.
Can you manage my profile for me?
Yes — it’s a fully managed service. Our GMB specialists handle posts, reviews, photos, Q&A and updates every month, so your profile stays active and keeps ranking without you lifting a finger.
Do reviews and posts really affect map-pack rankings?
Yes. Review volume, recency and responses are a strong local ranking signal, and regular Google Posts show Google your profile is active. Both are core to what our Google Business experts do each month.
Will this work for multiple locations?
Yes. We manage a separate, consistent profile for each branch so every location ranks in its own area — with location-level reporting so you can see results per site.
