But many businesses don’t fully optimize it.

Things like:

Ihave a question, some of the answer I know, but I wonder if there's more.

One of my clients is in a super competitive market in our area. I took her GBP from not existing to being 8th on the map. Great, right? But the closest competitor is #1 or #2 all the time. How can we compete?

I checked out their website (SEO and AEO), they have a simple app, nothing more. Her website is OK, I'm building a new one for her. The current site is inside a contaier - Gloss Genius and they make you pay extra for GA4 implementation, so I'm just building a different site for her.


So, we make sure her GBP is updated and she's getting reviews. What more can I do?
