93% of Consumers Find Local Businesses Through Google Maps
Ever wonder why some local businesses seem to appear everywhere online while others remain virtually invisible?
When someone in your area pulls out their phone and searches for products or services you offer, your business needs to appear at the top of their results. Not just somewhere on the list: at the top.
The numbers tell the story: 93% of consumers use search to find local businesses, 76% of people who search for something nearby on their smartphone visit a related business within 24 hours, and 93% of local searchers act within 24 hours. The opportunity is massive, but only if your business shows up when it matters most.
Most local businesses are leaving money on the table every single day. Their potential customers are actively searching for exactly what they offer, but they're finding competitors instead. Every missed search is a missed opportunity - one that directly impacts your bottom line.
Why Your Google Business Profile Optimization Is Just The Beginning
You've claimed your Google Business Profile. Maybe you've added some photos, updated your hours, and responded to a review or two. That's a solid start, but it's just scratching the surface of what comprehensive local SEO can accomplish.
Local search domination requires a multi-faceted approach that goes far beyond basic profile management. It demands strategic keyword targeting based on how your specific customers search. It requires consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) information across dozens of directories and citation sources. It needs a review generation strategy that steadily builds social proof while improving your rankings.
And that's before we even talk about your website's local content strategy, structured data implementation, or the technical foundation that supports everything else.
The businesses that dominate local search aren't just doing one thing right, they're executing a comprehensive strategy where every element reinforces the others. The good news? Most of your competitors aren't willing to put in this work. Their shortcut mentality creates your opportunity.

Frequently asked questions
Local search optimization improves your online presence to attract nearby customers. It focuses on searches with local intent qualifiers like "near me" or specific locations. The goal is to increase visibility when potential customers in your area search for what you offer.
Local optimization targets location-specific searches while traditional SEO focuses on national visibility. Key differences include:
- Focus on Google Business Profile
- Local citation building
- Review management
- Geo-targeted content
This approach is crucial for businesses serving specific areas rather than online-only operations.
Most businesses see improvements within 1-2 months of implementing a comprehensive strategy. Timelines vary based on:
- Market competitiveness
- Starting position
- Implementation thoroughness
Highly competitive markets may take 6+ months for substantial ranking improvements, while businesses in less competitive niches often see much faster results.
Yes. According to BrightLocal research, local results appear from a different algorithm than organic results. Even with strong organic rankings, you're missing valuable local traffic without local optimization. Additionally, local results typically display above organic listings on mobile devices.
Reviews are critical ranking factors in Google's local algorithm. They:
- Directly influence position in local search
- Significantly impact consumer decisions
- Provide fresh, keyword-rich content
- Build trust signals that search engines value
Businesses with more positive reviews typically rank higher in local search results.
While basic elements like claiming your Google Business Profile can be handled internally, RankScience recommends professional assistance for comprehensive strategies. The local search landscape changes frequently, requiring specialists who stay updated on algorithm changes and implement advanced techniques that most business owners don't have time to master.
You can improve your Google Maps ranking by:
- Completing your Google Business Profile 100%
- Collecting consistent positive reviews
- Ensuring NAP consistency across all platforms
- Creating local content on your website
- Building local backlinks from relevant sources
The most effective approach combines these tactics in a strategic, ongoing program.
Your local search performance may be suffering from incomplete business listings, inconsistent contact information across directories, few or negative reviews, a lack of local content, or technical SEO issues. RankScience's audit process can identify specific factors limiting your visibility and prioritize solutions for maximum impact.
