What to fix first
Close the review gap
The top competitors have a median of 297 reviews. You have 36.
Lift your rating
Your rating is 4.0. The top competitors’ median is 4.6.
You drop out of the results in parts of your area
At 5 of 25 points you’re not in the top 20. Google ranks local results on relevance, distance and prominence. You can’t change the distance, but your categories, services and reviews affect how far out you still show up.
Get into the top 3 in more places
You make the top 3 at 1 of 25 points. Most people tap one of the first three results, so that’s where the calls come from. The competitors above you are the ones to compare categories, services and reviews with.
Pet owners search “vet”, “animal hospital” or “emergency vet”, and Google Maps treats each as its own search. For emergency searches your hours count, because searchers can filter for clinics that are open now. The scan shows where your clinic appears for each term.
Common Business Profile categories for Vets
- Veterinarian
- Animal hospital
- Emergency veterinarian service
- Pet groomer
- Pet boarding service
Your primary category is one of the clearest signals of what you do. Compare yours with the businesses that outrank you.
Questions about Google Maps for Vets
How does a clinic show up for “emergency vet”?
Only claim emergency care you provide. If you do, add Emergency veterinarian service as a category, list it as a service and keep your hours exact, since searchers can filter for clinics that are open now.
Should we use Veterinarian or Animal hospital as our primary category?
Use the one that matches how you operate. Veterinarian fits most general practices, and Animal hospital fits clinics with hospital facilities. Add the other as a secondary category if it’s accurate.
Why don’t we show up for “cat vet”?
Google treats it as its own search and looks for profiles that match it, including cat-only clinics. If you see cats, say so in your services and on your website, then scan the term to see who leads.
Why does a clinic farther away outrank us?
Google weighs relevance and prominence as well as distance. A clinic farther away can lead if its profile matches the search more closely or it’s better known, for example through more reviews.
We’re part of a group with several clinics. How should we check them?
Each clinic needs its own profile at its own address, and each ranks around that address. Scan each clinic on its own; how one ranks says little about the others.
Questions
How is the ranking measured?
We run the same Google Maps search from 25 points in a grid around your business and record where you appear at each one. Every search is placed at its point, with no personal search history attached.
Why do I rank differently across my area?
Because distance is part of the ranking. Google weighs how far each business is from the person searching, so your position changes as the searcher moves. Relevance and prominence affect how far out you still show up.
Is it free?
Yes. A scan of up to 25 points and one answer from each AI assistant are free, with no account needed.
What do you ask the AI assistants?
We ask each assistant on the card the question shown there, once, for your city, and check whether your business is named in the answer. If an assistant isn’t available in your country, the card says so.
Why do AI assistants name different businesses than Google Maps?
Because they answer a different way. An assistant answers for the whole city rather than for one spot, and builds its answer from what it finds on the web, such as review sites, directories and articles. The sources it cites show where it looked.
Is Listed Local part of Google?
No. Listed Local is independent and isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by Google. A free scan only reads search results; it doesn’t change anything on your Business Profile.
