Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Local Pack?
The Local Pack is the block of 3 business listings that appear at the top of Google search results for local queries (e.g., "plumber near me"). Being in the Local Pack drives the majority of local search traffic.
How do reviews affect my ranking?
Reviews are a major ranking factor. Quantity, recency, and diversity of reviews matter. A steady flow of positive reviews signals trust to Google and improves your local ranking.
Do I need to have a physical storefront?
Not necessarily. If you are a service-area business (like a plumber or electrician), you can set up a GBP without showing your address. We optimize for the regions you serve.
