Are you a services contractor, do you have an Google Business Profile Optimized for local search in your area? If you are reading this, think again,
Probably don't know this, but you are Set Up Like a Local Store… or a City-Dominating Service Pro. How?
Hey there — if you’re a business owner in Savannah, Hinesville, Richmond Hill, Jesup, Brunswick, or anywhere else in Coastal Georgia, I need to share something important with you — especially if you’re running a plumbing, HVAC, roofing, or pressure washing business.
It’s something I see almost every day…
💥 The Big Mistake That’s Costing You Local Leads
Many contractors unknowingly set up their Google Business Profile un-Optimization (GBP) and website like a retail shop — not like the mobile, multi-city service business they really are.
Here’s what that looks like:
GBP shows your physical address (instead of being hidden for service radius)
You list 10+ cities on your GBP
But your website only talks about one or two locations
That’s a problem.
❌ Why That Setup Is Killing Your Reach
Google’s smart. It compares your GBP and your site. If it doesn’t see matching signals, here’s what it thinks:
“They say they serve Brunswick and Glennville — but I don’t see any proof on the website... I won’t show them there.”
What happens next?
You disappear from maps
Competitors take over in cities you serve
💸 You lose real jobs to weaker companies — just because they’re structured better
🔎 Your Business Might Be Invisible in 80% of the Cities You Serve
At SERPx, we’ve worked with service pros all over Coastal Georgia, including:Hinesville, Walthourville, Jesup, Ludowici, Richmond Hill, Glennville, Savannah, Brunswick, Midway, Riceboro, Garden City, Pooler, and Darien.
And one thing is almost always true: they’re missing visibility in places they could already be working.
✅ What You Should Be Doing Instead

Here’s how SERPx fixes this problem:
Google Business Profile is optimized correctly once set as a Service Area Business
Build location-specific service pages for every city you work in
Add local schema markup to prove your coverage to Google
Make sure your GBP and website say the same thing
Add city names to headers, title tags, footers, and service descriptions
No tricks. No fluff. Just strong SEO that Google understands.
🧠 This Isn’t About More SEO — It’s About More Customers
You don’t need a new logo.
You don’t need to “rank for general keywords.”
You just need to stop sending mixed signals.
