Findings (excerpt)

1. Duplicate and weak titles (high priority)

11 service pages use the pattern "Plumbing Services | Northgate". Searchers and search engines cannot tell "boiler repair" from "drain unblocking".

PageCurrent titleSuggested title
/boiler-repairPlumbing Services, NorthgateBoiler Repair in [City], Same-Day Callout, Northgate
/blocked-drainsPlumbing Services, NorthgateBlocked Drains Cleared in [City] from £89, Northgate

2. Town pages are near duplicates (high priority)

The 7 town pages are 94% identical text. Each needs at least 250 words unique to that town: areas covered, typical jobs there, travel time, a local customer review.

3. Slow service pages on mobile (medium)

Hero images average 1.9 MB. Compressing to WebP and setting width to 1,200 px would bring load time to about 2.5 s.

4. Blog does not pass value to services (medium)

The top 10 posts get 62% of organic visits, but only 2 of them link to a service page. "Why is my boiler losing pressure?" alone gets about 1,100 visits a month and links nowhere.

5. Tag pages indexed (low)

38 /tag/ pages with 1–3 posts each. Set them to noindex.

About this service

A business that does not appear on Google Maps, or only shows up when people type its exact name, usually has one of a few problems: the profile is unverified or suspended, the primary category is wrong, the address is a hidden service area too far from searchers, the name and details disagree across the web, or a duplicate profile splits the reviews. You describe your profile and paste what it shows, and we review your website and public listings to find the likely cause and write the fixes step by step.

What is included

  • What you getA diagnosis of why your business is missing or weak on Maps, with the likely causes ranked, the fix for each in step-by-step form and a list of listings where your name, address and phone disagree.
  • Profile statusVerification, suspension and duplicates
  • CategoriesPrimary and secondary category choice
  • Distance and areaWhy you show only nearby, or not at all

What we need from you

Your business name, address or service area, the Business Profile status and categories as shown in your dashboard, the searches you expect to appear for and, optionally, links to your site and profile.

We will ask you:

  • What does your Business Profile show as its status?
  • Which searches should find you, and from where?
  • What are your primary and secondary categories?
  • Do customers visit your address, or do you travel to them?

Payment protection

You pay when you order, but the money is released only for accepted work.

  • Fixed priceThe package price does not change after you pay.
  • The money is reservedWhen you pay, the amount is only reserved. It is released to the service once you accept the work.
  • Checked before deliveryEvery result goes through a quality check before it reaches you, and you see it on the order page before accepting it.
  • Free revisionsAsk for changes within your brief as many times as the package allows.
  • Acceptance after 3 daysIf within 3 days of delivery you neither accept the work nor ask for changes, it is accepted automatically. If you write in the order chat after delivery, the order waits; once we answer, we may start the 3 days again and will say so in the chat.
  • Redo or a full refundIf the result does not match your brief and the revisions did not fix it, or the work takes more than twice its deadline, write in the order chat: we will redo the work or refund the payment in full.

Questions and answers

Can you get my suspended profile back?

We explain the likely reason and what to fix before you appeal, and give the appeal steps. The appeal itself is filed by you, and Google decides.

Do you need to log in to my Business Profile?

No. Describe or paste what your dashboard shows; we never ask for your Google account.

Will I rank first on Maps after this?

Maps results depend heavily on the searcher's distance, so no one can promise positions. Fixing the causes lets your profile show where it should.
