If your business is not showing up on Google Maps, you are invisible to local customers. It does not matter how good your service is — if people cannot find you online, they will simply call your competitors instead.
At Signal Marketing, we use advanced Google Business Profile (GBP) optimisation to transform poor rankings like the one shown above into consistent local visibility and new enquiries.
The Problem
This local business came to us frustrated. Despite offering a great service, they were not showing up for searches in their area. On the map, you can see their rankings marked in red — positions 11–20+. This meant they were completely invisible to customers searching for their services locally.
Why This Happens
- No keyword optimisation in their GBP profile
- Weak local citations and inconsistent NAP data
- Lack of reviews and poor engagement signals
- No local content strategy targeting area-specific searches
Our Process
To fix this, we applied our proven local SEO strategy:
- Profile optimisation — writing keyword-rich service descriptions and adding geo-tagged photos
- Citation building — ensuring consistent listings across trusted directories
- Review management — driving more 5-star reviews with a clear strategy
- Local content & posts — publishing regular, keyword-targeted updates on Google
- Ongoing tracking — monitoring map rankings with Local SEO tools
The Results
After three months, this business moved from invisible to highly visible across their service area. Instead of red rankings, they now see green stars on the map, meaning they consistently rank in the top 3 for local searches.
Why This Matters
Over 70% of customers choose a business from the top 3 local map results. If you are not there, you are missing out on phone calls, bookings, and revenue every single day.
