If you are a local service business owner and you are not showing up in the Google Map Pack, you are leaving money on the table. In this episode of Marketing Domination, I break down exactly how I optimize Google Business Profiles to rank higher in the Map Pack and dominate local markets. I walk through real examples of how I fully complete and optimize profiles, choose the right primary category, add detailed services and products, and use high-quality photos to stand out from competitors.I also explain how I use review velocity to outrank businesses with more total reviews, how I think about keywords without stuffing them, how often I recommend posting, and what I do when expanding into new markets. I cover proximity, service area businesses, and the most common triggers that cause suspensions, so you can avoid costly mistakes. If you want a clear, practical system for ranking higher and generating more local leads, this is exactly how I do it.📒 Show Notes and Resources 📒https://www.seangarner.co/podcast/ ===========================P.S.
