What to fix first
Close the review gap
The top competitors have a median of 491 reviews. You have 109.
Get into the top 3 in more places
You make the top 3 at 7 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.
Heating searches split by job: “boiler repair”, “boiler installation” and “gas engineer” each get their own results on Google Maps. A company can lead for one and be missing for another from the same street corner. Scan the terms that match the work you want most.
Common Business Profile categories for Heating Engineers
- Heating contractor
- Gas engineer
- Boiler supplier
- HVAC contractor
- Air conditioning contractor
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 Heating Engineers
Why do I rank for “boiler repair” but not for “boiler installation”?
Google answers each search separately and matches it against your categories, services and website. If you do both, list both as services, and add secondary categories such as Gas engineer where they fit your work.
Is Heating contractor the right primary category?
It fits companies whose work is mostly heating. If you work mainly on gas boilers, or install air conditioning as well, another category may describe you better. Compare with the primary categories of the companies that outrank you.
Customers never visit our premises. Does that hurt our ranking?
Not by itself. Run the profile as a service-area business with the address hidden, as Google asks. You’re still ranked by distance from that address, so expect to be strongest near it.
Should we list after-hours service?
If you offer it, yes. Searchers can filter Maps for businesses open now, so hours that show when you take calls keep you in that view. List only the hours when someone actually answers.
We have several branches. How should we set them up?
Give each staffed branch its own profile and scan each one, since each ranks around its own address. A branch without staff during business hours doesn’t qualify for a profile.
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.
