Further Map Ranking SEO Knowledge and Processes

Keyword Selection and Campaign Setup
  • We review your Google Business Profile past performance and gather information for hundreds of keywords for which your GBP had impressions and interactions.
  • Curate the list of keywords to select the ones that align with the business goals and strategy.
  • Group the keywords into four different buckets: money keywords, geolocalized, branded search, and long tail keywords.
  • We run a GeoGrid Report for multiple keywords to visualize your rankings across your service area and pinpoint opportunities to grow.
  • Conduct a GeoGrid Ranking Report to visualize your local search presence.
  • Measure your Share of Local Voice (SLV) compared to competitors.
  • Identify ranking weak spots and service areas that need optimization.
  • Share the report with the business owner.
  • We optimize your GBP with geo-targeted content, service categories, and keyword-rich updates to maximize visibility.
  • Fully optimize service categories, business descriptions, products, services, and images.
  • Utilize geo-tagged content to improve engagement and visibility.
  • Implement weekly Google Posts and Q&A updates to stay active.
  • We build a robust network of local SEO citations for your business.
  • By constantly vetting citation sites that we use across hundreds of campaigns, we are able to select the ones that have the biggest impact on Google Maps Rankings and give your business a great jump-start with top quality citations.
  • List your business on high-authoritative local directories that are proven to boost your local rankings.
  • Fix your business NAP (Name, Address, and Phone Number) consistency across every website on the internet where your business has a profile.
  • Update citations on an ongoing basis with new information or changes added to the Google Business Profile.

Our Map Check-Ins app turns every job into Map Check-Ins. It generates fresh, geotagged content from each address you visit, sending powerful local signals to Google that expand your rankings into new service areas around your profile.

The Map Ranking Local Engagement (CTR) Booster is designed to amplify key engagement signals that influence how Google ranks your Google Business Profile (GBP) across multiple services.

We replicate the actions of real local customers — boosting Google’s perception of your business popularity and increasing your chances of being shown (and recommended) in the Map Pack.

How It Works

  • Driving Directions to Your Profile
    Just like Uber or Lyft drivers requesting directions to your location, we simulate consistent navigation requests — signaling to Google that people are actively visiting your business.
  • Targeted Service Searches
    Example: Searching “plumber in Los Angeles,” locating your GBP in the Map Pack list, and then engaging with it.
  • Engagement Actions
    Actions like clicking your phone number, viewing photos, reading reviews, or visiting your website — all key interactions that strengthen your ranking signals.

The goal is mimicking user activity. By combining location-based searches, profile engagement, and driving direction signals, the Map Ranking CTR Booster helps you climb the rankings and attract more real customers.

  • We optimize your website technical SEO structure, but also work on your depth of content, topicality,  and Entity associations through enhanced structured data and schema implementation. 
  • Analyze and optimize technical SEO, internal linking.
  • Optimize inner pages’ depth of content, entity associations, and topicality.
  • Implement enhanced structured data (Schema Markup) for enhanced search visibility.
  • Create city-specific service pages.
  • Develop localized case studies and testimonials for credibility.
  • We continuously monitor GeoGrid Reports and adjust strategies to keep you at the top of Google Maps.
  • Monitor GeoGrid Reports to track ranking improvements.
  • Adjust SEO strategy based on Google algorithm updates.
  • Expand the service areas and optimization for more local searches.

We offer a 90-Day Map Pack Ranking Guarantee — not based on miles or a fixed number of rankings, but on tangible local visibility growth.

Here’s what that means in practice:

  • If your business currently doesn’t appear in the Map Pack:
    Within 90 days or less, you’ll start showing up in the top 3 positions (Map Pack) in multiple points within the local radius we’re targeting. In other words, you’ll break into visibility where you had none before.
  • If your business already has Map Pack visibility:
    Our 90-day guarantee ensures measurable expansion — you’ll gain top 3 Map Pack rankings in new nearby points where you weren’t previously ranking.
  • And if we don’t hit the guarantee within 90 days, we keep working for free until we do. No extra fees, no fine print — just results.
  • The best way of understanding it is by looking at our client results to get an idea of the rankings we they achieved in the first 90 days of working with us.

We don’t guarantee a specific number of points or miles because every business starts from a different baseline and market density varies. What we do guarantee is a significant and trackable increase in top-3 Map Pack positions within the first 90 days — and we back it with data from our Rank Tracker and heatmaps.

Regarding distance or radius:
We typically work within the realistic service radius your business can cover — usually anywhere from 5 to 20 miles, depending on population density, competition, and your own operational reach. We’ll define that together based on your goals and service area.
