The top 3 spots on Google Maps, the 'Local Pack', get 75% of all clicks. If you're not in them, you're practically invisible to local customers searching right now.
Here's what separates #1 from #7:
→ More recent Google reviews (and responses to them)
→ Consistent business name, address & phone across the web
→ Keywords in your Google Business Profile description
→ Regular posts and photo updates on your GBP
→ Strong engagement signals (calls, clicks, direction requests)
None of this is magic. It's just consistency, and most business owners don't have time for it.
