To see how often you’re named, track it: each assistant is asked again on a schedule, and every answer that names you is counted.

What to fix first
Close the review gap
The top competitors have a median of 509 reviews. You have 109.
You drop out of the results in parts of your area
At 4 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.
People search “accountant”, “chartered accountant”, “bookkeeper” and “tax advisor” for different needs, and Google Maps answers each with its own list. A firm can lead for one of those searches and be missing for another. The scan shows each one from points around your firm.
Common Business Profile categories for Accountants
- Accountant
- Chartered accountant
- Bookkeeping service
- Tax consultant
- Tax preparation 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 Accountants
Does “chartered accountant” return different results from “accountant”?
It can. They’re separate searches, and a firm whose profile mentions its chartered accountants and uses the Chartered accountant category gives Google a closer match. Use that category only if it’s accurate for your firm.
Which category should an accounting firm use?
Accountant is the broad choice. If most of your work is tax returns or bookkeeping, Tax consultant or Bookkeeping service may fit better as the primary category, with the others as secondary categories.
Do I need an office to rank on Google Maps?
You need a location where you meet clients in person during your hours, or you can run as a service-area business with the address hidden if you visit clients instead. Firms that only work online aren’t eligible for a Business Profile.
Is it worth checking before the Self Assessment deadline?
Yes. Searches for tax help usually rise ahead of the 31 January deadline, and a scan beforehand shows where you stand going into the busy months.
Can each accountant at the firm have a profile?
Google’s guidelines allow public-facing professionals with their own clients to have a profile alongside the firm’s. If you work alone, keep one profile. Separate profiles can compete with the firm’s for the same searches.
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.
