Stop losing
local jobs
to
competitors with
better profiles
Google's latest updates mean simply having a Google Business Profile isn't enough anymore. If yours has the wrong categories, outdated photos, or mismatched details - Google will quietly push you down and send the best local jobs to someone else.

WHY THIS MATTERS IN 2026
Most small businesses don't know this is happening to them
Google's algorithm is constantly updating - and the businesses showing up at the top of local searches aren't always the best ones. They're the ones with the most optimised profiles. Here's what pushes you down without warning.
Wrong categories
Incorrect or overly used broad categories can mean Google doesn't know exactly what you do - so it shows you to the wrong searches, or not at all
Outdated or missing photos
Google rewards active profiles. If your photos are older than 3 months, or missing, your profile looks abandoned - and ranks accordingly.
Mismatched business details
If you name, address or phone number differs across directories, Google loses trust in your listing and can drop your visibility.
Ignored reviews
Not responding to reviews - good or bad - signals to Google and potential customers that you're not engaged. It costs you rankings and enquiries.
Wrong service areas
If your service area isn't set up correctly or you are focussing on an area 100's of miles away, Google won't show you in the areas you actually work in.
No regular posts or updates
Regular GBP posts signal activity to Google. Without them, your profile gradually loses visibility to competitors who post consistently.
WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE
Your profile, rated traffic light style
No confusing dashboards. No technical language. Just a clear, honest picture of where your profile stands - and exactly what you need to do next.
RED - NEEDS ATTENTION
Critical issues found
Your profile has gaps or errors that are actively holding you back from showing up in local searches. These need fixing as a priority.
AMBER - ROOM TO IMPROVE
Good foundation, but gaps exist
Your profile is showing up, but it's not performing as well as it could.
Some targeted improvements could make a real difference to your enquiry volume.
GREEN - LOOKING STRONG
Well optimised profile
Your profile is in good shape. I'll highlight anything worth keeping as eye one, and suggest any fine tuning that could push you even higher.
