Is Ranking #1 on Google Actually Worth It for Local Businesses?

Hi,

It's Roberto.

Was talking to a guy about how I can get him to the top 3 on Google. He asks me something interesting:

"How do I know that this Google thing is even worth it?"

Pretty decent question, if you are looking to spend a bit of money on something, you'd want to know if it's worth it.

Now, I'm supposed to say YES OF COURSE. Because it's what I sell.

But that's too easy, and I'm a bit biased, so I took a different approach.

Why the Top 3 Google Rankings Get Everything

We know that the top 3 businesses in a local area get EVERYTHING.

ALL the traffic

All the calls

All the clicks

All the money

Not because 3 is a magic number. But because Google only shows you the top 3 (sometimes 4) on the first page.

So obviously, they get all the results.

The Simple Test to Know If Google Rankings Matter for Your Business

So the question becomes, if you get to the top 3 and start getting all the attention and calls that your competitors are getting, would you get more clients?

If the answer is YES โ†’ getting to the top 3 and staying there is almost certainly worth it.

If the answer is NO โ†’ don't bother with this. It's probably not worth it.

Most local businesses can handle more clients. Most are not fully booked 365 days a year.

So if you can take on more work, and the top 3 spots are getting all the calls in your area, then yeah. It's worth it.

If it's no, it's all good won't hold it against you ;-)

Talk soon,

Roberto
