Stuck below the map results people look at

S.H Plumbing Services works in a busy market with plenty of plumbers. For a while they sat at 8th or worse for their main “plumber + town” search, below the three map results most people call.

Within days of the listing cleanup, S.H Plumbing was in the top 4 for the same search, and the phones got busier.

The basics on the Google listing, done properly

We fixed what Google reads first.

  1. 1Categories cleaned up

    The listing’s business categories now match the work S.H Plumbing does.

  2. 2Services filled in

    Each service listed and corrected, so Google knows what to show them for.

  3. 3Details made consistent

    Name, address and phone the same across the web.

  4. 4Website jobs

    A few small website jobs alongside the listing work.

“It's working and I already got a few calls in today!”

Google reads the listing first. So we fix it first.

The listing was the bottleneck

Wrong categories and missing services meant Google didn’t know when to show S.H Plumbing. Fixing that moved them fast.

Consistency builds trust

The same name, address and phone across the web tells Google the business is real and local.

Ranking turns into calls

The top of the Map Pack is where people pick up the phone. Moving up meant more calls straight away.
