Why This Happens
The most common causes we find: an incomplete or unverified Google Business Profile, inconsistent NAP (name, address, phone) data across the web, thin or missing local content on the website itself, and a review profile that’s too small or too old to build trust.

What is local SEO?
Local SEO helps your business appear when people search for what you offer in Cork. It optimizes your Google Business Profile, local citations and location-specific content to capture nearby customers.
Why isn’t my business showing on Google Maps?
Usually because your Google Business Profile needs optimization, you don’t have enough reviews, or your NAP information is inconsistent across the web. These are fixable issues we address in the first weeks of a local SEO engagement.
