💡 Pro Tips
Best model for this prompt
ChatGPT
ChatGPT (GPT-4o / GPT-5)
Your GBP category is the most important local SEO signal — check which categories top-ranking local competitors use
Responding to every review within 24 hours improves local ranking signals
Profiles with 100+ photos get 520% more calls than those with fewer than 10
Google Posts expire after 7 days — schedule recurring posts like social media
Generic description with no local keywords — mention your neighbourhood and nearby landmarks
Ignoring negative reviews or responding defensively — every public response is read by prospective customers
No photos beyond a logo — Google Maps shows photos before the click
Not enabling messaging — Google rewards profiles where customers can contact directly
- How does GBP affect local rankings?Google ranks local businesses in the map pack based on: relevance (matches search), distance (proximity), and prominence (reviews, links, completeness). Profile completeness and review count/rating are most controllable.
- How to get more Google reviews?Ask in person at moment of highest satisfaction with a direct link. Never offer incentives — violates Google's guidelines.
- How often to post?Minimum weekly. Posts expire after 7 days. Event and offer posts are weighted more than general updates.
- Respond to old reviews?Yes — respond to all unresponded reviews, including old ones. A thoughtful response to an old negative review shows potential customers you take feedback seriously.
