Your GBP listing is the most important local SEO asset you have. This guide covers the map pack ranking factors — why some businesses appear in the three-pack and others don’t.
Your category tells Google which searches you can appear for. How to choose your primary and secondary categories, research your competitors, and fix the mistakes that quietly cost you visibility.
