Google Maps SEO for contractors
When a homeowner needs a roof, a pool, or a remodel, they pull up Google Maps and call one of the top three. Google Maps SEO is the work that gets you into that top three and keeps you there.
The top three take the calls. Everyone else fights for scraps.
The Map Pack is the little box of three businesses that sits at the top of a local search, above everything else. Land in it and the phone rings. Sit below it and you're nearly invisible, because most people never scroll past those three. Ranking there isn't luck. It's proximity, the right signals, and a foundation Google trusts, and that's exactly what we build.
How we get you into the Map Pack
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.
Relevance
The right categories, services, and content so Google connects you to the exact jobs people are searching for in your area. If Google doesn't understand what you do, it won't show you.
Prominence
Reviews, citations, backlinks, and an active profile that tell Google you're an established, trusted business worth ranking. This is the work that wins competitive metros.
Proximity tracking
We track how you rank on a real map, every two to five miles out from your shop, not one average number that hides where you're invisible. Then we work the dead spots until the grid fills in.
The Map Pack is the whole game.
For home service work, where you rank on the map decides who gets the call. The data is not close.

Questions
It's the box of three businesses with a map that shows at the top of a local Google search. For service work it's the most valuable spot on the page, because most people call one of those three and never scroll down to the regular links.
On our flagship engagement, yes, a top-three Map Pack ranking for your locked keywords, or we keep working at no charge until we hit it. The full terms are in the agreement. On smaller projects we move you toward it without the guarantee.
Usually a mix of proximity, a more complete profile, more reviews, and a website Google trusts more than yours. We audit exactly what's separating you from the top three in your market and go close the gap.
Google favors businesses physically close to the searcher, so you rank strong near your shop and fade further out. We can't move you, but the right relevance and prominence signals stretch how far your ranking reaches across your service area.
