Why Your Local Business Isn't Ranking on Google (And How to Fix It)
Hi,
It's Roberto.
You're trying to show up for everything at once.
Plumber. Water heater repair. Pipe installation. Twenty different services jammed together on one page.
Google looks at your site and thinks "What the hell do you actually do?"
So they rank you for nothing.
Here's what your competitor figured out.
Pick one thing. Rank for that first. Then move to the next.
That's how they dominated "emergency plumber Phoenix" for three months. Now they own that keyword. Every emergency call in the area goes to them.
Then they moved to water heaters. Now they own that too.
You? Still trying to rank for all of it. Still on page 3 for everything.
Why Google Rewards Focus Over Everything Else
Google wants clarity. One page. One service. One keyword.
Prove you're the best at that thing. Then move on.
Most business owners think "But I offer ten services. I need to rank for all of them."
Yeah, eventually. But not today.
Today you pick the one service that makes you the most money. You build content around that. You get reviews mentioning that specific service.
Three months later? You own it.
Now you do the same thing for service number two.
How Local Businesses Dominate Google Rankings
Start with one keyword at a time. Dominate it. Move to the next.
This is how local businesses go from invisible to fully booked in their area.
Stop spreading yourself thin across every service you offer. Focus on the one that brings in the most revenue and build everything around that.
Want to know exactly how to do this for your business?

Roberto
