Show Up When Locals Search

Google ranks local results on relevance, distance and prominence. Distance is fixed. Relevance and prominence are where the work goes.

Relevance: Say What You Actually Do

Name every service you offer on your Google profile, your site and your Yisrael listing. Someone searching "kosher caterer" will not find a page that only says "events."

Prominence: Get Known

Reviews, mentions and links from real local sites all count. Listing on directories like Yisrael, sponsoring a community event and getting a mention from your shul or school newsletter all tell people, and search engines, that you are real.

Measure It

Search Console shows clicks and the searches behind them. Your phone log shows calls. Check both every month. If clicks rise and calls do not, your page is the problem. If neither rises, your profile is.
