What You’re Missing on Google That’s Costing You Jobs

Most contractors think the only way to get more jobs is more ads or more referrals.But the real question is: Do you even show up when someone searches “contractor near me”?

If you’re not visible (or your profile is messy), you’re losing jobs before the phone ever rings — and your ad costs go up too.

🔥Highlights

Google Business Profile = your digital storefront (and it feeds your ad performance)
Maps is the new battleground: Google Maps + Apple Maps + Bing drive calls (and AI pulls from them)
Old-school SEO is dropping — local visibility is what wins now
Reviews are the #1 authority signal (and you must respond fast)
Photos + posts = authority (Google rewards active profiles)
Backlinks/directories = “votes” for trust that push you up the map pack
Google Q&A matters because AI reads it and surfaces it in results
