How To Improve Your Map Pack RankingYou can improve your location’s position in Google’s Map Pack results by following these simple steps. It can take a little time, so it is important to start now.
Where to start?
Verify your listing. It is an easy process you can do while logged in to business.google.com.
Optimize your listing. Be as detailed as possible in all business information fields. Write an original and compelling copy of your Business Description. Upload high-quality photos to enhance the visual appeal of your listing.
How to outrank the rest?
Your Google reviews: Quantity, Frequency, and Quality (4 stars or above). Respond to positive and negative reviews.
Other “Citations” across the web: Yellow Pages, City Search, Yelp, Facebook, etc.
Consistent NAP (Name, Address, and Phone) across the web. Avoid any nuances and duplicate listings.
Community Engagement. Build local authority to ensure your online footprint reflects where you are located.
Why is this important?
People who use Google expect the most relevant result to be at the top. So, when your listing is the top result, there is an automatic assumption that your location is the best fit for that user.
