Local SEO for Spokane Businesses: How to Show Up on Google Maps

By Matt Anderson · 6 min read

When someone searches "roofer near me" or "Spokane dentist," Google shows three businesses on a map before anything else. Getting into those three spots is one of the best things you can do for your phone.

1. Complete your Google Business Profile

Pick the most accurate main category, add your service areas, hours, services and a real description. Service businesses that travel to customers can hide their home address.

2. Keep your name, phone and website consistent

Your business name, phone number and website should match everywhere: Google, Facebook, Yelp, your website and local directories. Mismatches confuse Google.

3. Get reviews steadily

Ask every happy customer for a Google review, right after the job. A steady flow of recent reviews matters more than a big batch from years ago. Reply to every review.

4. Post real photos and updates

Upload real photos of your work and team regularly. Profiles that look active and real earn more clicks and calls.

5. Have a website with pages for what you do and where

A separate page for each main service and each main city you serve helps Google understand exactly when to show you.
