Start with your Google Business Profile

Claim it, choose the right categories, add real photos and keep your opening hours accurate. It is the single most important factor for appearing in the map results.

Make your website local

Mention your city and the areas you serve on your key pages, create one page per main service, and make sure your name, address and phone number match everywhere online.

Earn reviews, consistently

Ask every happy client for a review, reply to all of them, and spread them over time. A steady flow of recent reviews matters more than a large number of old ones.
