If you are a local service business owner and you are not showing up in the Google Map Pack, you are leaving money on the table. 

In this episode of Marketing Domination, I break down exactly how I optimize Google Business Profiles to rank higher in the Map Pack and dominate local markets. I walk through real examples of how I fully complete and optimize profiles, choose the right primary category, add detailed services and products, and use high-quality photos to stand out from competitors.

I also explain how I use review velocity to outrank businesses with more total reviews, how I think about keywords without stuffing them, how often I recommend posting, and what I do when expanding into new markets. I cover proximity, service area businesses, and the most common triggers that cause suspensions, so you can avoid costly mistakes. 

If you want a clear, practical system for ranking higher and generating more local leads, this is exactly how I do it.
