🚨 Why Ranking Your Website on Google Is a Nightmare (Boston Edition)
If you think SEO alone is going to make your phone ring, Boston plumbers—think again. Let’s take a hard look at the reality of ranking on Google.

📍 The Boston Breakdown
✅ Only 3 local companies in the top 10 (with Winter’s Home Services taking 2 spots).
✅ Spots 11-20? That’s page two of Google, aka the graveyard for clicks.
✅ Reality Check: The owner of Boston Budget Plumbing has a better chance of having triplets than getting a click at position 15.

💀 Why SEO Alone Won’t Cut It
🔹 Top 3 or Bust – If you’re not in the top three map pack spots, you’re invisible to most searchers.
🔹 Page 2 = No Clicks – The further down the list, the fewer the clicks—and the more calls go to your competitors.
🔹 Google’s Not Playing Fair – With LSAs, PPC ads, and the map pack, Google wants to keep searchers on its platform—NOT send them to your website.

🔥 What’s the Solution?
✔️ Optimize Your Google Business Profile – If you’re not ranking high here, you’re missing out on free leads.
✔️ Diversify with Paid Ads – SEO takes time, but Google Ads & LSAs can get you immediate leads.
✔️ Leverage Local Service Area Pages – If you aren’t showing up organically, expand your visibility with location-based SEO strategies.

👉 Bottom Line: If you’re relying on SEO alone to keep your phone ringing, you’re gambling with your business. Ready for a real marketing strategy that works? Reach out to me at True Blue Collar, and let’s get your phone ringing! 📞💰
