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.

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.

What it takes to climb back past them

Em breve

A recolha de avaliações chega em breve. O Rank Pilot ainda não pede avaliações aos seus clientes — esta página descreve o que vai fazer. Responder às avaliações que já tem funciona hoje.

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.

Where you need to be 100+

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.

Introducing Rank Pilot

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.

Who passed me, and why?

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.

Respostas diretas

As perguntas que ia fazer de qualquer maneira.

  • Quanto tempo até subir de posição?

    O Rank Pilot começa pelas correções do perfil e pelas avaliações logo na primeira semana, e as duas coisas dão para ver. As posições costumam mexer em 30 a 90 dias. Ninguém consegue fazer mais depressa, e quem prometer está a mentir-lhe.

  • Conseguem pôr-me no topo?

    Não prometemos isso. Ninguém manda no Google, e toda a gente que diz o contrário está a vender-lhe alguma coisa. Mostramos-lhe o que mudou e o que isso lhe rendeu, todos os meses.

  • Precisam da minha conta do Google?

    Para a análise, não. Se assinar, liga o seu perfil uma vez para que o Rank Pilot possa fazer as correções. Mostra-lhe tudo antes de ficar público, e pode desligar quando quiser.

  • Isto são avaliações falsas?

    Não. O Rank Pilot pede aos seus clientes verdadeiros, depois de visitas verdadeiras. As avaliações falsas levam à suspensão do negócio no Google, por isso nunca lhes tocamos. A recolha de avaliações chega em breve.

  • Há contrato?

    Não. É mês a mês e cancela a partir da sua conta.

  • Posso ver o que encontra antes de pagar?

    É exatamente isso que a análise gratuita é. Mostra o seu mapa, as suas falhas e os negócios que estão à sua frente, sem esconder nada e sem pedir cartão.
