Someone else took your rank in Google Maps. Now what?
The businesses that passed you are not better at the job. They are better at Google — steadily, boringly, every week. Here is who is above you, what they do that you do not, and the way back.
- See exactly who passed you
- See what they do differently
- Get the order to fix it in
- Watched every week after that
They are not better at the job. They are better at Google.
Nobody above you is a better tradesperson than you are. They just have a profile that answers every question Google asks of it, and yours has gaps. That is the entire difference, and it is fixable.
- Every service they offer is listed. Most of yours probably are not.
- Their categories are exact. A near-enough category quietly costs you searches.
- Their page changed this month. Yours may not have changed since you opened.
- Their review count keeps climbing while yours sits still.

Of everything on that list, reviews are where they beat you hardest
Look at the counts. The businesses above you are not marginally ahead on reviews — they are multiples ahead, and it compounds every month you do nothing about it.
- Every review answered the day it arrives, in your own words.
- New requests going out automatically after each finished job.
- Your rating held up, and an unhappy customer caught early.
- First to twenty-five, then steadily toward their number.

They are found for words you are invisible for
Google matches searches against what is written on your page. A thin description and a half-filled service list means every one of those searches goes to somebody else by default.
- A description naming exactly what you do and the area you cover.
- A proper write-up on every single service, not just a title.
- Real search terms worked in, never stuffed in a way that gets flagged.
- Drafted for you, live only once you have read it.

Two ways to close a gap like that
The businesses ahead of you got there by doing this consistently. Consistency is the whole trick, and it is the part that is hard to buy back.
Chase them yourself
Free, if you can keep pace
- Work out which of the four is actually beating you, and on what.
- Match their weekly output on top of running your business.
- Keep matching it in the months they get more aggressive.
Or put Rank Pilot on them

- It reads the profiles above you and names the exact differences.
- It works the gap closed in priority order, week after week.
- It tells you the day one of them moves on you again.
Ask it who is beating you. It will tell you why.
Rank Pilot is a chat. Ask about the businesses above you the way you would ask a friend who happens to know Google inside out, and it comes back with the answer and the work already started.
- “Who passed me?” — the names, and what each one has that you do not.
- “Close the review gap” — requests go out, replies get drafted.
- “Watch them” — you hear the day the order changes.
Three businesses moved above you this quarter. Reviews are the widest gap — here is the order.

It knows your trade as well as your competitors do
The businesses ahead of you did not research any of this. They just happened to fill their profile in properly. Rank Pilot starts from that knowledge on day one.
It knows the job list
Every service a business like yours gets searched for, including the profitable ones you forgot to list.
It knows the search terms
What somebody in your area actually types at the moment they need you, which is rarely what you would write.
It knows the tone
How a reply from your kind of business should sound, so nothing you post reads like it came from a call centre.

Respuestas claras
Las preguntas que ibas a hacer de todos modos.
¿Cuánto tardaré en subir de posición?
Rank Pilot empieza con los arreglos del perfil y las reseñas la primera semana, y las dos cosas se ven. Las posiciones suelen moverse en 30 o 90 días. Nadie puede ir más rápido, y quien te prometa lo contrario te está mintiendo.
¿Me vais a poner el primero?
No lo prometemos. Nadie controla Google, y todo el que diga lo contrario te está vendiendo algo. Te enseñamos qué cambió y qué te ha dado, cada mes.
¿Necesitáis mi acceso a Google?
Para el escaneo no. Si te suscribes, conectas tu perfil una vez para que Rank Pilot pueda hacer los arreglos. Te enseña todo antes de publicarlo y puedes desconectarlo cuando quieras.
¿Son reseñas falsas?
No. Rank Pilot se las pide a tus clientes reales después de visitas reales. Las reseñas falsas hacen que Google suspenda negocios, así que no las tocaremos nunca. La captación de reseñas llega pronto.
¿Hay contrato?
No. Mes a mes, y cancelas desde tu cuenta.
¿Puedo ver qué encuentra antes de pagar?
Para eso está el escaneo gratis. Te enseña tu mapa, tus carencias y los negocios que van por delante de ti, sin ocultar nada y sin pedirte la tarjeta.
