If customers can't find you on Google Maps, you're handing business to competitors every single day. These are the five culprits we fix most often for KZN businesses.
Google cross-references your name, address and phone number across directories, social profiles and your website. If your Facebook says one address and your website says another, Google loses confidence and drops you. Pick one canonical address and make every mention match.
Claim your profile, verify it, choose precise categories, add services, photos and your hours. Businesses with complete profiles are dramatically more likely to appear in the local pack.
Review count and recency are core local ranking factors. Ask every happy customer for a Google review — and respond to every one. Twenty reviews is the minimum credibility threshold; fifty-plus starts to win.
Your site should mention your city and service areas naturally — in titles, headings and content — and carry LocalBusiness schema markup so Google understands exactly where you are and what you do.
Most local searches happen on phones. A slow, broken mobile site kills both rankings and conversions.
