MAP PACK DOMINATION

YOUR BOTTOM LINE IS OUR TOP PRIORITY

Google My Business - Map Pack Domination

If you’re looking for a massive increase in new customers for your business, this is hands-down the one service that you simply must have.

When consumers perform a search with local intent (for example: a restaurant,  salon, gym, contractor, plumber, etc.) Google returns a map, followed by 3 enhanced listings for those businesses that Google deems the best match for the search query and proximity to the consumer.  These three enhanced listings collectively make up the “Google Map Pack”, also referred to as the “local 3-pack”. The three businesses that rank in the Google Map Pack receive 45% of all search traffic! For comparison sake, the organic search results and paid ads receive only 29% and 20% of all search traffic, respectively.  If you want more traffic to your website, more prospects seeking driving directions to your business, more phone calls, and most importantly more customers in your door, your business needs to rank in the Google Map Pack.  

There are typically a hundred or more businesses fighting for one of these 3 highly coveted positions in the Map Pack.  Suffice it to say, Map Pack domination is not something that happens by luck or chance.  It requires an extremely unique skill set and in depth understanding of Google’s algorithm. That said, our demonstrable results speak for themselves.  Each and every one of our clients is ranking in the Google Map Pack for a dozen or more competitive keywords or search queries.  As a result, they’ve seen incredible results such as:

  • 198% increase in inbound calls for a Personal Injury Attorney in Waldorf, MD (View case study)
  • 300% increase in inbound calls for an Elder Law/Estate Planning Attorney in Prince Frederick, MD
  • 320% increase in inbound calls for a plumbing, heating and air conditioning contractor in Ocean City, MD
  • 330% increase in inbound calls for an auto repair shop in Salisbury, MD
  • 153% increase in inbound calls and 55% increase in driving direction requests for a restaurant chain in MD and VA (stats reflect the average of all 17 locations)
