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

  1. Close the review gap

    The top competitors have a median of 232 reviews. You have 109.

  2. Get into the top 3 in more places

    You make the top 3 at 9 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.

Searches like “removals” and “removal company” return firms close to the searcher, while a search that names a city, such as “removals in Leeds”, is answered for that city. For a long-distance move, the customer may search from the city they’re leaving or the one they’re moving to. The scan shows where you appear around your business.

Common Business Profile categories for Removal Companies

  • Mover
  • Moving company
  • Moving and storage service
  • Piano moving service
  • Self-storage facility

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 Removal Companies

Do “man and van” searches work differently?

They’re ranked the same way, on relevance, distance and prominence, but they’re a separate search with their own results. If you offer a man and van service, list it and scan the term.

Can a removal company show up in a city where it has no office?

Not easily on Google Maps, since distance is measured from your verified address. Google doesn’t allow profiles at addresses where you don’t operate, so a real, staffed location in that city is the legitimate way in.

Which category should a removal company use?

Mover and Moving company are the common choices for the primary category. Add Moving and storage service only if you offer storage, and Piano moving service only if you move pianos.

Should removal companies show their address?

Show it if customers can visit your office during your hours. If not, hide it and set a service area. Either way, Google measures distance from the verified address.

Do reviews matter for removal companies?

Yes. Google counts review count and rating towards prominence, and lists replying to reviews among its tips for improving local ranking. Compare yours with the removal companies that outrank you.

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.
