Frequently asked questions

Why does my competitor rank above me on Google? +

Usually reviews (count and rating), listing completeness, website quality, and how well they respond to customer inquiries. Google rewards businesses that look active, trustworthy, and easy to contact.

How many Google reviews do I need to rank in the local 3-pack? +

There's no magic number, but businesses in the top 3 typically have 2-3x the reviews of those below them. Quality and recency matter too. A steady stream of recent reviews signals to Google that your business is active and customers are engaged.

What's the fastest way to catch up? +

Start getting reviews consistently (ask every happy customer), complete your Google listing, and make sure every call gets answered. The combination of social proof and responsiveness is what moves the needle fastest.
