How nearby customers find youIn about 3 minutes.

Take a breath. You don’t have to learn the tech. Here’s where people find a local pro, what’s probably missing, and two ways to fix it.

Pilot video — coming soon A short walk-through of this page.
You don’t need the video — everything it says is written below.

1 · Where they look

The 3 places nearby customers find you

  1. 1. Google Maps

    Your free Google Business Profile — the map box.

    Google often shows it before any website. Many calls start there.

  2. 2. AI answers

    ChatGPT, and the AI summary at the top of Google.

    People use AI tools to find local businesses, but they still read reviews for themselves before they call. One 2025 study found Google’s AI summary on up to about two-thirds of local searches,[1] and when it shows, about 40% fewer clicks.[2][3]

  3. 3. Your website

    Where people check: can they do my job, here, for roughly what price?

    Google and AI tools read your services and area here too.

The one rule: your details match everywhere

Your name, address, phone, hours and services should read the same on Google, Bing, Apple Maps, Yelp and your site. ChatGPT and Google’s AI often recommend different businesses,[4] so fixing one place isn’t enough.

No secret tricks: Google’s own guide says it’s ordinary good basics.[5]
