Rank in the Google Map Pack

Optimize and rank your Google Business Profile for local searches. Map pack domination.

About this service

Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is the single most important local-search asset most Thai businesses have — alongside province-level coverage on our locations hub — and it's the one most often left half-built.

Signs your Google Business Profile is hurting you

  • You don't appear in the Map Pack when customers search "Google My Business your city"
  • Your profile shows old hours, wrong phone, or no photos
  • Under 20 Google reviews — competitors have 100+ and are ranked above you
  • No posts or updates for the last 6 months
  • No replies to reviews — including the negative ones
  • Multiple duplicate listings for the same business (a hidden Google ranking penalty)
  • Wrong primary category — you're listed as "Marketing Agency" when you're a specific niche
  • Address not verified by Google postcard

How a weak Google Business Profile impacts you

The Map Pack — the three businesses Google shows above the normal search results on local queries — accounts for 40-60% of local clicks. If you're not in it, you're invisible to walk-in customers.

  • Lost walk-in traffic

    customers who would have walked into your shop go to the competitor in the Map Pack

  • Lower trust

    incomplete profiles signal "unprofessional" or "closed" to buyers

  • No review velocity

    Google rewards businesses that get steady review flow; you get none

  • Wasted Google Ads spend

    well-optimised profiles dramatically reduce paid-ad costs because Google trusts the business more

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about our Google My Business service.

Can you optimize my profile if it's already set up?

Yes. Most profiles we audit have category mistakes, missing services, wrong service area, outdated photos, and zero use of Google Posts. We audit and fix all of that as the starting point.

Do you get reviews for me?

We set up the workflow to make review requests as easy as possible (QR codes, post-service SMS templates, email follow-ups) but we never write fake reviews — Google detects and penalises fake-review patterns very aggressively. See map pack ranking factors that actually work in 2026 for how local signals are weighted.

How is this different from regular SEO?

Map pack rankings use different signals than organic rankings — proximity to searcher, category relevance, review velocity, and profile completeness dominate. Regular SEO factors matter less here. The two services often work together but the work differs.

Can you manage GMB for multiple locations?

Yes. We manage 5-50+ location portfolios for franchises, retail chains, and multi-clinic professional services. Each location gets its own optimization but you get consolidated reporting.

Can you handle businesses with multiple categories?

Yes — primary category drives most ranking weight, secondary categories matter for filtered searches. We optimize both. For service businesses (e.g. 'lawyer + tax consultant'), choosing the right primary is the single biggest decision.
