📍 The Local Search Grid: Why It’s a Game-Changer for Contractors
One of my favorite tools to use with potential clients is the Local Search Grid.

📊 What Does It Do?
✅ It clearly shows how your business ranks in Google’s Map Pack (the top three businesses next to the map).
✅ It also reveals your position in Google’s Local Finder (the “More Businesses” section).

🏆 The Goal?
✔ Top 3 is best – that’s where most clicks happen.
✔ But with more people searching on mobile & Google Maps, even ranking as deep as #7 can still get you calls!

🚨 The Harsh Reality
🔴 Proximity is a HUGE ranking factor.
🔴 Move even 10 miles away in a busy city? Your ranking could disappear.
🔴 This is why SEO alone won’t cut it for contractors with large service areas.

💡 The Solution?
💰 Paid search.
If your service area is wide, you need Google Ads to stay visible where your SEO won’t reach.
