Ranking Higher on Google Maps: Why Support and Strategy Matter

Posted on August 22, 2025

Why Google Maps Rankings Drive Business

When people search for local services, Google Maps often shows the first three businesses at the very top. These top spots get the majority of calls and clicks. Without a strategy, your business risks being overlooked by potential clients.

At McKinley AI Solutions, we help businesses climb the Google Maps rankings by applying proven strategies that boost visibility and attract more local customers.

5 Strategies to Improve Your Google Maps Ranking

1. Claim and Verify Your Google Business Profile
Google gives priority to verified businesses. Completing this step is essential for appearing in local results.

2. Optimize Every Detail of Your Profile
Accurate hours, categories, services, and business descriptions help Google connect you with the right searchers.

3. Collect and Respond to Reviews
Positive reviews not only build trust but also signal to Google that your business is active and reputable.

4. Add Fresh Content Regularly
Weekly posts, photos, and updates show Google (and customers) that your business is engaged and up to date.

5. Build Local Citations and Backlinks
Consistency matters. Listing your business across reputable directories and websites improves your authority and Maps ranking.
