The settings that move a listing off the map.
Seasonal work and trades run from home both trip up the same few settings.
The pin landed across the river
The address went in loosely and the pin sits in the wrong town. Google measures distance from that pin.
Nobody can tell where you go
The service area says Geelong and nothing else. A holiday-house owner can't tell if you come to Barwon Heads.
Photos from one summer
The newest photo is three years old, and the hours still say January.
For some customers,
the listing is all they see.
Plenty of people tap call on the map without opening a website. An owner booking from out of town picks on photos and reviews.
A listing that matches how you work.
We check ownership and details first, then fix what's costing you calls.
The pin back on the right side
Address checked and pin moved, or hidden behind a service area if you work from home.
Every town you drive to
Service area set to the towns you take jobs in, up to Google’s limit of 20.
Kept current all year
New photos, seasonal hours and holiday closures set ahead of time.
The questions we get.
Usually distance or relevance. Google says local results are ranked on relevance, distance and prominence, so a business based in Geelong won't show for every Barwon Heads search. A complete profile, the right category and reviews are what you control.
No. Hide it and set a service area. That's Google's rule for businesses that travel to customers.
If you work there, yes. Google allows up to 20 service areas and suggests keeping them within about two hours' drive of where you're based.
Send the review link with the invoice or a text when the job is done, since they often aren't there to ask in person. Google doesn't allow rewards for reviews.
Yes. Special hours cover public holidays and set dates without changing your regular hours.
No. We look after listings across Geelong, the Surf Coast and Golden Plains, Ocean Grove included.
Worth a look first.
