FAQ
Local SEO - Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about VGraple's Google Local Business & Local SEO service.
What is the Google Local Pack and how do I appear in it?
The Google Local Pack (also called the Map Pack) shows the top 3 local business results with a map when users search for local services. To appear in it, you need a verified Google Business Profile, consistent NAP citations, and a strategy to build local relevance and prominence - exactly what VGraple provides.
How do I rank higher on Google Maps in Ahmedabad?
Google Maps ranking is determined by three factors: Relevance (how well your GBP matches the search), Proximity (distance from the searcher), and Prominence (reviews, backlinks, citations, website authority). We optimise relevance and prominence, since proximity is fixed.
How important are Google Reviews for local SEO?
Extremely important. Review count, average rating, review velocity (how recently reviews are posted), and keyword usage in reviews all directly influence your Google Maps ranking. Businesses with 50+ recent reviews consistently outrank competitors with fewer.
Can you manage my Google Business Profile for me?
Yes. Our local SEO retainer includes full GBP management: weekly posts, responding to all reviews within 24 hours, updating business hours and services, adding new photos monthly, and monitoring for any spam or issues.
What are local citations and why do they matter?
Local citations are mentions of your business Name, Address, and Phone number (NAP) on other websites - directories like Justdial, Sulekha, Yelp, and industry-specific sites. Google uses citation consistency as a trust signal for local ranking. Inconsistent NAP across directories confuses Google and hurts local rankings.
Do you do local SEO only for Ahmedabad or other cities too?
We provide local SEO for businesses across India - Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Surat, and any other city. We also manage GBP and local SEO for multi-location businesses.
