What is the Google Local Pack?

The Local Pack is the block of 3 mapped businesses that Google displays at the top of the results when someone searches for a service near their location.

It's Google's most valuable space for local businesses: the first result in the pack receives approximately 42% of clicks, while results outside the pack barely reach 8%. Appearing here doesn't depend on paying for ads - it depends on having an optimized profile, solid reviews and trust signals that Google can verify.

What is SEO for Google Maps?

SEO for Google Maps is the set of actions that improve the position of your business in Google Maps results when someone searches for what you offer in your area.

Unlike traditional on-page SEO, Maps SEO depends mainly on your Google Business Profile: correct categories, complete and consistent information (NAP), updated photos, recent reviews and active posts. A neglected profile can make your business invisible even if you've been in business for years.

How to ask your customers for reviews without making it uncomfortable?

The most effective way to get reviews on Google is to send a direct link via WhatsApp or QR right after the customer receives the service, when the experience is still fresh.

The most common mistake is to ask for reviews days later or in a generic way (“leave us a review on Google”). What works is a personalized message with a link that leads directly to the rating screen, without the customer having to search for your business. Reviews are one of the most important factors for the Local Pack - more recent and positive reviews equals more visibility.

Can a business without a website appear on Google Maps?

Yes - a business can appear and rank on Google Maps without having a website, as long as its Google Business Profile is complete and optimized.

The Business Profile acts as your standalone Google presence. You can receive calls, messages, address requests and reviews directly from Maps or Google search, without the need for a website. That said, connecting a simple landing page significantly increases the conversion rate of visitors who click “Website” from your profile.

What are 360° photos on Google Maps for?

360° photos on Google Maps allow users to take a virtual tour of your business before visiting it, which increases trust and reduces friction before contacting you.

Google gives more relevance to profiles with 360° photography because they offer more information to the user. A professional virtual tour can increase interest in your business up to 41% according to Google studies. It is especially effective in restaurants, hotels, salons, doctors' offices and any business where the environment influences the purchase decision. All optimization plans include professional 360° photography by AREAS.photography.

What is “Verified by Google” (formerly Google Guarantee)?

Verified by Google is a badge that appears next to businesses in Local Services Ads, indicating that Google has verified the identity, licensing and insurance of the business.

As of October 2025, Google unified its badges under the name “Verified by Google”, replacing the former “Google Guarantee”. This badge appears on paid local service ads and is available primarily in the United States and Canada for trades such as plumbers, electricians, locksmiths and the like. It's not the same as having a verified business profile (which is free and different) - but both verifications are trust signals that Google uses to recommend businesses.
