Here’s how many calls I got in January for carpet cleaning, car detailing, and pest control pages I worked on:

These pages took me 1 day to setup and have been getting close to 1 call/day every month

It’s so easy to rank a GMB because of how unmonopolized the rankings are. The biggest ranking factor for a GMB is proximity which means you can rank above the huge optimized companies doing SEO if your business is closer to the searcher.

Who is GMB for?
  • Businesses in population-dense cities
  • Service industries that get high/demand volume of searches per day

I’ve ranked car detailing, carpet cleaning, and pest control pages to 20+ calls/month without much work.
This alone should get you ranking within a 6 km proximity:

  • Add a physical address instead of operating as a service area business (you can use any address you won’t be penalized)
  • Place your business in the center of your city if possible (being in the center of a city reaches more searches via proximity than being on the edge of the city)
  • Add the keywords you want to rank for into your name
  • Get 15+ reviews that include photos and the keywords you want to rank for
  • Add 3+ Q&A questions that mention your keywords
  • Add 3+ products that mention your keywords (you can add the equipment you use even if you don’t sell it)
  • Set your page hours to 24/7 (Google prioritizes businesses that are open when the user searches)
  • Build a website with a headline and text about your keyword

What keyword do I rank for?
If you are a pest control service in Toronto, your keyword is “Pest Control Toronto”
If you are an electrician in Boston, your keyword is “Pest Control Boston”

Now you will be ranking within a 6 km radius, but it’s hard to rank past 6 km because more local companies will beat you by proximity.

But what you can do is make 5 GMBs scattered around your city so that you can rank across a 30 km radius and get 100 calls/month instead of 20. A lot of profiles get instantly suspended in spammy categories but here’s how you can avoid this:

How to verify a page:
  • Make each page’s name slightly different (Sparkle Shine Car Detailing North Toronto vs Sparkle Shine Car Detailing South Toronto)
  • Use a new number, website, and address, that has never been used for a business profile before
  • Create the page on a friend/family member's phone and aged gmail account
  • Include branded photos of company T-shirts and company van

The page should get processed for 5 days and then verified and there you go!
