Problem · Customers finding you
Why isn't my business visible on Google Maps?
Someone searches for "bakery nearby" and sees a map with three businesses. Yours isn't among them, or only shows up after a lot of scrolling. That map is populated from your Google Business Profile, not your website.
Does this sound familiar?
Here's how you notice it.
You don't appear in the map pack with three businesses
That box appears above the regular search results and draws attention.
Your opening hours are wrong
Customers show up at a closed door, or think you're closed while you're actually open.
You have few or outdated reviews
A competitor with more recent reviews shows up first.
Your profile has never been claimed
Google created it itself, with a photo of the street and no services listed.
The cause
What Google Maps needs.
For "near me" searches, Google mainly looks at three things: how well your profile matches the search, how close you are, and how well-known and trusted your business is. You can't do anything about the distance. The other two, you can.
The profile is the strongest factor for Google Maps. Your website supports that with the same name, the same address and the same phone number.
- The right main category
- All services and correct opening hours
- Photos of your business and your work
- Recent reviews, with a reply from you
- The same name, address and phone number everywhere

Questions about this problem.
Why isn't my business visible on Google Maps?
Usually because the Google Business Profile hasn't been claimed, is incomplete, or is listed under the wrong category. A profile that hasn't been verified yet also often stays invisible.
Does a Google Business Profile cost money?
No, the profile itself is free. It does take time to fill it in properly and keep it up to date. We do that for you, or we show you how to do it yourself.
How do I get more reviews?
Ask at the right moment, right after a successful job or visit, and make it easy with a direct link or a QR code. Reply to every review, including the less positive ones.
What does it cost?
A website starts from € 990 with us. For a system, a webshop or printed materials, you get a fixed price after a free 30-minute analysis, split into phases. You start with what brings the most benefit.
