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.
