Use accurate business details

Review the trading name, category, phone number, hours and website link in Google Business Profile. Describe the activity specifically and use photographs that help people recognise the business and its work. If you visit customers rather than receive them at an office, represent that arrangement honestly. Do not invent a location to appear in another area.

Make sure the website agrees with the profile. Someone may discover you on Maps, read a service page and then contact you through WhatsApp. That journey needs continuity: the same business, an understandable offer and a working contact method.

Make local pages useful

Explain the services you genuinely provide and answer questions customers ask before hiring. For a business serving Santa Cruz and La Laguna, travel arrangements or appointment conditions may matter. For one serving southern Tenerife, language support and advance booking may be more relevant. Local detail earns its place when it affects the customer’s decision.

Avoid duplicating a page and replacing only the town name. A complete explanation of coverage is more useful than many empty pages. Real project descriptions, your own photography and an explanation of the process offer information that repeated keywords cannot.

Build trust through reviews

Ask for reviews after a real service and allow customers to describe their experience freely. Respond politely without sharing private details. Reviews can also reveal what customers value and which information was missing before they purchased. Use that feedback to improve both service and communication.

Do not buy reviews or promise a particular search position. Google describes factors including relevance, distance and prominence. You can improve the information and experience you provide; you cannot control the searcher’s location or guarantee the order of every result. Local visibility is an ongoing business task.

Measure meaningful enquiries

Record the enquiries you receive, the requested service and whether the customer falls within your actual service area. More visits do not always mean better opportunities. Separate searches for your business name from those discovering a service, and compare equivalent periods so that seasonality is not mistaken for lasting improvement.

  • Profile: accurate information, useful activity and available contact methods.
  • Website: visible pages, queries and meaningful actions.
  • Business: enquiry quality and services eventually commissioned.
