Why is my Google Business Profile not showing up?

If your Google Business Profile is not showing up, it usually comes down to a few fixable things. Google ranks local results on relevance, distance, and prominence, so start there. The most common culprits are the wrong primary category, an incomplete profile, inconsistent name, address, and phone across the web, too few recent reviews, and a profile that just sits there without posts or photos. A brand-new or recently re-verified listing can also take a few weeks to settle in.

Fixing it means picking the most specific category for your trade, filling out every field, cleaning up your listings so your details match everywhere, and getting a steady trickle of reviews. Proximity to the searcher matters too, so you will always rank strongest near your actual location. Sorting all of this out is a core part of our local SEO for Louisville contractors.
