Local Maps Rank

Pick a small, truthful fix list

Six practical lessons. No email signup, ranking promise or certificate.

Pick a small, truthful fix list

Google describes local results in terms of relevance, distance and prominence. You cannot change the searcher’s location by editing a profile. Focus on accurate business information, appropriate categories, current hours and helpful service information. Check recommendations against the actual business before editing anything.

Choose a small number of tasks you can verify. Record the change, its owner and its date. Do not add a service, address or qualification that the business does not genuinely have. A task list is a plan, not a promise of a particular ranking. Keep sensitive customer information out of public profile content.

Practice: Choose three accurate, verifiable improvements and assign a date to each.
