"Why can't I find my business on Google Maps?"

It's one of the most common questions we get from home service owners — and the answer usually surprises them: YOU are the least reliable person to check. Your own phone, your own Wi-Fi, and your search history all bias Google toward showing you your own business.

The real question is whether a customer three towns over can find you.

Our new guide breaks down the 9 most common reasons a business goes missing on Google Maps — from proximity to profile problems to suspensions — and exactly how to check and fix each one.

Your Google Business Profile is probably driving more calls than your website — and most home service owners set it up once and forget it.

That's leaving easy work on the table. Your profile is one of the biggest things that decides whether you show up in Google Maps when a nearby customer needs you.

So we wrote a step-by-step guide: 12 ways to optimize every part of your profile — categories, services, photos, reviews, and more — plus a free checklist you can run for every location or hand to your team.

No jargon. Just what to fix.

Ever wonder why a competitor shows up on Google Maps and you don't — even though you do better work?

It usually comes down to three things Google actually looks at: relevance, distance, and prominence. Most "SEO tips" lists throw 30 random ideas at you and never tell you which ones matter.

So we wrote the guide we wish every home service owner had: 10 proven steps to rank higher on Google Maps, sorted by impact — plus the tactics that just waste your time (and the ones that can get your profile suspended).

No jargon. No hype. Just what to fix first.

Quick test: search “[your service] near me” from a customer’s neighborhood across town — not from your shop.

If your business doesn’t show up in the top few map results there, you’re not losing to a better company. You’re losing to a more visible one.

Google Maps ranks businesses differently depending on where the searcher is standing. You can be #1 by your shop and invisible six miles away — in an area you’d happily service.

That gap is costing you calls.

The good news: it’s fixable. Want to see your map?

Comment “MAP” and I’ll tell you how to check it.

Welcome to Avec Peanut.

Here’s the problem we fix: most home service businesses show up on Google Maps near their own shop — and disappear a few neighborhoods over, where homeowners are searching “[your service] near me” right now.

Those folks call whoever shows up first. Too often, that’s your competitor.

We help tree service, HVAC, roofing, plumbing, concrete, landscaping, and electrical companies show up in more of the right local searches — so more of the right people find you, call you, and book you.

No jargon. No vanity metrics. Just more calls and booked jobs. Want to see where you’re winning and where you’re invisible on the map?
