Let’s keep it a buck…
If your business doesn’t have a properly optimized Google My Business profile, you’re literally invisible to the people trying to spend money with you.
Think about it.
When someone searches “ceramic coating near me” or “wedding photographer in Atlanta,” Google gives them 3 options.
Not 30
Not the most experienced company
Not the one with the best-looking Instagram
Just 3.
Those top listings, called the Local 3-Pack, get more than 70 percent of the clicks. Period.
So even if you’ve been in business for 10 years, someone who started 90 days ago and optimized their profile will take your spot.
They show up
They collect reviews
They respond to every message
They close deals while you’re wondering why the phone stopped ringing
And here’s the crazy part…
Most of this doesn’t cost a dime.
All you need is:
- A fully completed profile with the right keywords
- Photos and posts uploaded regularly
- Consistent reviews from real people
- Accurate service categories and location targeting
You’re not losing because your work is weak.
You’re losing because Google forgot you exist.
