FAQ

Local SEO & Google Business Profile questions, answered

Have a question that is not here? Ask us

What is the Google Map Pack?

It is the box of three local businesses with a map that Google shows for searches with local intent. It sits above most organic results, so appearing there is one of the fastest ways for a local business to win calls.

Can I do local SEO without a physical address?

Yes. Service-area businesses such as cleaners or contractors can hide their address on Google Business Profile and list the areas they serve instead.

How do reviews affect local rankings?

The number, recency and quality of reviews, and how you respond to them, are among the strongest local ranking and conversion factors. We help you ask for reviews consistently and within Google’s rules.
