Expanding Your Geographic Map Coverage

Google Maps limits how far from your address you appear in local search results.

By building local keyword content, claiming directory listings, and gathering reviews from nearby neighborhoods, we help your map listing reach customers in adjacent zip codes.

Coverage Growth Examples

  • After: Dominating map packs across a 5-mile borough radius.
  • Result: Qualified service inquiries increased by 2.4x.

Spam Flagging Metrics

  • Fake competitor listings identified: 48 profiles.
  • Redress filings successfully approved: 42 listings.
  • Total call volume reclaimed for clients: +180 monthly calls.
Spam Fighting

Clearing Search Results of Fake Listings

Fake, keyword-stuffed maps profiles push legitimate local businesses off the Local 3-Pack.

We audit competitor profiles, document guidelines violations, and submit removal reports to Google to clear the way for your business to rank.
