What to do
- Give each service and each town its own page, with a clear title.
- Put your business name, address and phone on your site exactly as they appear on your profile.
- Finish your Business Profile and collect reviews. Google says local results rest on relevance, distance and prominence (support.google.com/business/answer/7091).
- Make sure your pages load and read well on a phone.
- Check Google Search Console for errors.
FAQ
How long does it take?
There is no fixed time. Check progress monthly.
Can I pay to rank higher?
Not in organic results. Ads are separate.
Do I need an expert?
Not always. Google says you may decide to hire one, and you are responsible for what any company you hire does.
