About this service

Google Maps is its own SEO discipline. Different ranking factors than organic, different competitive landscape, different conversion path. For most local Thai businesses, Map Pack visibility drives more revenue than the rest of your SEO combined.

Signs your Google Maps SEO is broken

  • Not in Map Pack for "Google Maps SEO near me" or "Google Maps SEO your city"
  • GBP categories wrong — you're listed as "Marketing Agency" when "Digital Marketing Service" would rank
  • NAP inconsistency — your name/address/phone differs across Google, Facebook, Yelp, Wongnai
  • No GBP posts — every week without a post, Google deprioritises you
  • Under 20 reviews — Map Pack ranking correlates almost directly with review count
  • Slow review response — competitors reply within 24h, you reply never
  • Photos under 10 — Google wants 30+ photos per profile minimum
  • No service-area pages for nearby zones (e.g., a Pattaya restaurant with no Jomtien / Naklua coverage)
  • Wrong service area — listed for Pattaya only when you also serve Sriracha and Bang Saen
  • Spam from competitors — fake negative reviews, suggested edits flagging you as closed

How weak Maps SEO impacts you

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about our Google Maps SEO service.

How long to rank in the local 3-pack?

For low-competition local queries: 60-90 days. For competitive queries (Bangkok restaurants, Pattaya hotels): 4-6 months. Some categories (clinics, law firms) take longer due to high category competition.

Do I need a physical address to rank?

Yes for the map pack itself — Google requires a verifiable business address. Service-area businesses (no public storefront) can still rank but get fewer ranking signals.

Can you handle GBP for businesses outside Thailand?

Yes, though our deepest experience is the Thai market. Our processes work in any country — citation sources and language differ.

Can you remove a Google Maps ranking penalty?

If your profile was suspended, yes — we handle reinstatement requests. The process takes 5-30 days depending on suspension reason and Google's current review backlog. Success rate around 75% for non-fraud suspensions.
