Funeral home owners — a family arrived at your website last night, they looked around and then left without you even knowing they were there...

They saw your homepage

They stared at the menu, with all of its options

The blog, the obituaries, the about us...

They're distressed. Someone just died. They have one question:

"𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘮𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘸?"

They couldn't find the answers on your website within 10 seconds. So they hit back and called someone else.

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.

Your website was overwhelming, so they left to visit a competitor.

There is a new type of page that at-need families prefer, and it's not a website.

Websites vs landing pages for funeral homes.

08/18/2026

Funeral home owners... you pull out your phone, open Google and search "𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦".

Your funeral home appears at the top.

You relax, knowing you're winning the race.

The unfortunate reality is though that Google is probably lying to you.

You see, Google is trying to be helpful. And they know that you have searched for your own funeral home on multiple occasions before. So they show your funeral home first, to make life easy, so you don't have to hunt around for your favourite funeral home on Google online.

Also, you're probably searching on your own phone from your office in your funeral home, meaning that due to proximity Google wants to show you the most relevant location. And if you're literally sitting in your funeral home, it's again more likely to push you up the search results.

How to get an honest view of where your funeral home ranks?

Think you're ranking #1 on Google? Your phone is lying. Discover why families see different results and how to check where you really rank.

Does your funeral home shows up #1 on Google when you search from your phone? But is that really the true picture of where you stand on Google... 🤔

Here's what most funeral home owners don't realise.

Google doesn't show every family the same results.

Where in your city someone is searching from changes everything.

A family searching "cremation near me" from a community 5-miles north of your location may never see you on Google.

Not because your SEO is bad. But because a competitor has stronger SEO signals in that specific area.

This is why appearing at the top of Google in your own zip code doesn't mean you will show up 5-miles to the north.

One funeral home owner we work with was convinced his SEO was great. He showed up first every time he searched. Then we ran a report across his full service area. The results were poor.

He was showing up at the top of Google within 1-mile of his properly, but every where else he was on page 2.

His competitor, with fewer reviews and a smaller operation, was dominating those areas. They had set the basics up properly.

Understanding your Google visibility means checking your position across every ZIP code and every neighbourhood inside your service radius (7,15 or 30 mile radius etc).

If you usually check your Google position by searching on your phone then it's about time you saw where your funeral home really shows up on Google across your service area.

Your funeral home shows up #1 on Google when you search from your phone. So why is the competitor across town busier than you? 🤔

Here's what most funeral home owners don't realise.

Google doesn't show every family the same results. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 someone is searching from changes everything.

A family searching "cremation near me" from a retirement community 6 miles north of your location may never see your name. Not because your SEO is bad. But because a competitor has stronger SEO signals in that specific area.

This is why appearing at the top of Google in your own zip code doesn't mean you will show up 5-miles to the north.

One funeral home owner we work with was convinced his SEO was solid. He showed up first every time he searched. Then we ran a 25-point grid across his full service area.
The results were poor.

He was showing up at the top of Google within 1-mile of his properly, but every where else he was on page 2.

His competitor, with fewer reviews and a smaller operation, was dominating those areas. They had set the basics up properly.

Real local SEO visibility means checking your rankings across every ZIP code, every neighborhood inside your service radius — not just the exact location your funeral home sits in.

𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀, in 2026 if a family doesn't know who to call... they Google.

If you're not in the top 3 position inside of Google Maps when they search "𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦"... then you're not getting called.

You can accurately check where you appear on Google Maps across your local area, see the report (image) for an example of the reports we run before our calls.

Funeral home owners, ever wonder where your business shows up on Google?

You've probably searched from your phone and seen your FH at the top of the list, but this isn't a true representation of your search position.

Google shows you first because you've visited your website 100 times before and Google is trying to be helpful.

Funeral home owners: the ranking you see on your phone is not the ranking families see. 🔍

Most owners check their Google position by searching from their own phone. Then they feel good and move on.

Here's the problem. Google has seen you search your own business hundreds of times. It knows who you are. So it shows your business higher than it would for anyone else.

A family searching from five miles away? They see something completely different. And in some cases, they don't see you at all.

Meanwhile a competitor with fewer cases, worse reviews, and a weaker reputation is showing up ahead of you in half your service area.

Not because they're better. Because they've done a few things on Google that pushed them up in those specific locations.

Here's how to get a real picture...
