A. Relevance & Ranking Issues

Category, website and listing signals that limit your Google Maps rankings.

Is your primary Google Business Profile category misaligned with the main service your business provides?

Have you added secondary categories that don't accurately represent your core business?

Does your website fail to clearly support or reinforce the primary service represented by your Google Business Profile?

Does your Google Business Profile information conflict with important information about your business elsewhere online?

B. Trust & Profile Integrity

Duplicates, naming, address and edit history that undermine profile trust.

Is there another Google Business Profile representing the same business, location or phone number?

Does your Google Business Profile business name differ from the name your business uses in the real world?

Are you displaying an address where your business doesn't actually operate or meet customers, such as a virtual office, P.O. Box or remote mailbox?

Have you recently changed your business name, address, primary category or other major profile information?

C. Visibility & Diagnostic Signals

Ranking drops, weak content and incomplete information that hurt visibility.

Is your Google Business Profile website link sending users to a generic page when a more relevant service or location page exists?

Does your profile contain little or no original, real-world photography of your business, team, premises or work?

Have your rankings or visibility dropped significantly without an obvious change such as a suspension, business move or major market change?

Does your Google Business Profile contain important information that is incomplete, inaccurate or inconsistent with what customers see on your website?
