Why Google Isn't Showing Your Business to Customers Standing Next to You

Hi,

It's Roberto.

Google is pulling a fast one on you, me and everyone else.

Clients who want to pay us are being sent to the competition.

And I have 100% bulletproof evidence.

The "Near Me" Search Problem That's Costing You Customers

You know you can search "businesses near me"?

So 'restaurant near me'. Or 'hardware store near me'. Or 'plumber near me'.

Years ago I actually thought that Google recommended the closest business to my location.

Buuuuut... it doesn't.

Not even close.

I could be standing NEXT to your business, Google '[your service] near me' annnnnnnddddd it's going to recommend a competitor!

I know. It's nuts.

How Google Actually Decides Which Local Businesses to Show

Google doesn't just show the closest business. It shows the business with the best combination of proximity, relevance, and prominence.

That means your competitor down the street is showing up because their Google Business Profile is better optimized than yours.

They have more reviews. Better keywords. More complete information. Stronger local SEO signals.

And Google rewards them by sending YOUR customers to THEM.

Even when people are literally standing in front of your door.

But I want you to test it for yourself.

Search for your service plus "near me" while you're at your own location. See who shows up first.

Once you do, come back and click this link and we can talk about how to fix that so YOU show up first instead of your competition: https://www.aceskimedia.com/offer
