General Local SEO

    Why did my Google Business Profile ranking drop?

    A ranking drop is usually caused by a competitor improving their profile, a recent Google algorithm update, lost reviews, or a change to your business information that hurt consistency.

    Compare your profile against the businesses now ranking above you. Often they simply added more reviews, photos, or posts than you did in the same period.
