Why your Tullamore business isn’t showing on Google Maps
These are the problems we saw most. For the fixes in order, see our guide on how to rank on Google in Tullamore.
- Fewer reviews than the middle businessCheck the three on the map for your own search. The middle one is your first target, not the leader.
- The wrong main categoryGoogle showed one vet practice as a farm shop and one solicitor’s firm as a conveyancer. The category tells Google what you are. See choosing your Google Business Profile category.
- A pin in the wrong placeRural addresses around Tullamore aren’t always unique, so pins can land on the wrong house. See Eircode not showing on Google Maps.
- No service area for the places you coverWithout one, a Tullamore firm is less likely to show for Clara or Rahan.
- Hours that don’t match the searchPeople search “open now”, “open Saturday” and “open Sunday”. Keep your hours right, including bank holidays.
- One page for everythingA single services page can’t rank for every job and every town. Each one needs its own page.
