The Challenge

The client was a quality operator with 90+ reviews on Trustpilot but invisible on Google. They ranked outside the top 30 for 'roofers dublin', 'flat roof repair dublin' and 'emergency roof repair'. Their GBP had inaccurate categories, no service descriptions, and zero photos uploaded in 18 months. Lead flow was 100% word-of-mouth.

The Solution

We treated the Google Business Profile as the primary product and the website as supporting infrastructure. By matching service-area page content to GBP service descriptions and stacking review velocity, the business entered the Local Pack for 80%+ of target geo+service combinations within 4 months.
