Why do other contractors receive more calls than you? The key is Google.

If you do good work, satisfy your customers, and have years of experience... Why do some contractors who do the same thing receive more calls than you?

The answer often lies not in what you do on the ground, but rather on how they find you before I met you. And there, Google Business Profile (GBP) makes all the difference.

Most of your customers search for you like this:

Before picking up the phone, your customers write things like:

“roofing contractor in Miami”
“reliable painter near me”
“economic landscaping Tampa”

And when they do, Google shows them a list of businesses with:

✅ Reviews
✅ Photos
✅ Phone number
✅ Schedules
✅ Location

If your profile does not appear there or appears incomplete, simply move on to the next one.

What could be holding you back?

Many contractors make common mistakes on their Google listing:

They haven't claimed it (or they have it unverified)
They don't update schedules or photos.
They have few or poor reviews.
They do not respond to messages or calls coming from there.
They don't add keywords that customers are actually searching for.

All of this affects your visibility and causes others with less experience to surpass you.

What makes a profile stand out?

An optimized Google Business Profile should:

Have the name of your service in the title (e.g., “Palmer Tree Services”)
Show real, up-to-date photos of your work
Include recent reviews with good ratings
Be well categorized (“General Contractor,” “Painter,” “Tree Service,” etc.)
Have links to your website or social media accounts if you have them.

This not only improves your presence on Google, also generates immediate trust.

It's not just about being on Google. It's about being chosen.

Today, customers make decisions in seconds. If they see that your profile is complete, well maintained, and has a good reputation, they are more likely to call you without thinking twice.
