You’re losing customers because of ONE Google mistake

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Hey legend 👋

Here’s the brutal truth:

Most local businesses aren’t invisible because of bad SEO.

They’re invisible because they picked the wrong Google Business category.

That single choice tells Google who you are and when to show you.

Get it right → you dominate the map.

Get it wrong → you vanish from local search overnight.

We ran audits on 500+ businesses.

✅ The ones who switched to a more specific category saw +17% more visibility in 30 days.

✅ Adding one accurate secondary category boosted discovery searches by 10–12%.

Most businesses aren’t underperforming…
They're mislabeled.
Google literally doesn’t know what they do.

✅ Here’s what to do today

Audit your categories — both primary and secondary — and compare them against:
• your top-ranking competitors
• Google Autocomplete suggestions
• what customers actually search
• the data inside your GBP Insights

Most business owners skip this.
That’s why they stay invisible.

But you?
You fix this once, and your visibility, CTR, and leads all increase within weeks.

This 2.8-star business almost died - then something wild happened

Hey, it’s Linda I want to tell you a quick story that still blows my mind… because it proves how fast a business can lose trust, and how fast it can win it back. A neighborhood salon came to us sitting at a 2.8-star rating. Dead in the water. Losing 50% of potential customers before they even looked at the website. The owner thought the problem was “bad clients.” It wasn’t. It was trust. And trust dies silently long before a business feels the results. But here’s the crazy part… Six months...
