Chances are, unlikely. Most people searching for a service or product don’t look past the first page, or even the first few results. Even less look past the Google Maps Pack aka the “3-pack.” 

Say, I wanted to buy a cake. Well, if you look here, no local cake shops are showing up for the search “cakes near me.” 

The businesses in the top ranks of the map pack get the vast majority of traffic and for customers using smart phones (which most of them are), the maps pack makes it extremely easy to call with one tap. This is true for any search from cakes to home builders to law firms, to retail stores. 

But what can you do right now? 

Well, step one should probably be to have a winning Google My Business listing:

• Make sure all of your information is correct
• Use your real business name without stuffing it full of keywords or city names
• Get rid of any duplicate listings
• Be as detailed as possible with your business’s information
• Upload high quality images for your business

The next step should be to get reviews, good ones. Customer reviews research has shown that 80% of consumers don’t trust businesses with under 4-star reviews as much as they trust businesses with 4,4.5, and 5 star reviews. And 94% have said a negative review has convinced them to avoid a business.
