Your Google Business Profile (GBP) is often the first thing a potential customer sees. If you are not in the top 3 "Map Pack" results, you are missing out on 70% of local search traffic.

The Quick Fix

Ensure your Name, Address, and Phone number (NAP) are 100% consistent across the web, and aim for at least one new 5-star review every week.

Optimise Your Categories

Many businesses choose the wrong primary category. Be specific. If you are a "Family Law Solicitor", do not just choose "Lawyer".
