What to fix first
Close the review gap
The top competitors have a median of 402 reviews. You have 109.
Searches like “plumber” and “emergency plumber” are answered with plumbers close to the person searching. If you run as a service-area business, Google measures that distance from your verified address, whatever service area you set. The scan shows where in your area you appear and where you don’t.

Questions about Google Maps for Plumbers
How do I show up for “emergency plumber”?
Make your profile match the search: list emergency service, keep your hours accurate, and set 24-hour hours only if someone really answers around the clock. Searchers can filter Maps for businesses that are open now, and a profile that shows as closed drops out of that view.
Should my plumbing business show its address?
Only if customers come to you there. Google asks service-area businesses to hide the address, and hiding it doesn’t change where you rank from: distance is still measured from the verified address.
Why do plumbers from farther away show up ahead of me?
Distance is only one of three factors. A plumber farther away can still lead if their profile matches the search better or they’re more prominent, for example with more reviews. The scan shows which competitors lead at each point.
Does “water heater repair” need its own scan?
Yes, if you want that work. Each search term has its own results, and job-specific searches like water heater repair or drain cleaning can bring up different competitors than “plumber”.
Do ads change where I rank on Google Maps?
No. Google says paying for ads doesn’t improve where you rank in the unpaid results. That goes for Local Services Ads too: they appear in their own labeled spots, apart from the regular map results.
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.
