Exhibit Local service business (roofing contractor)
A local business that was hard to find on Google Maps, rebuilt from the profile up
This is not a nonprofit. It's a real result from another sector, shown because the situation is close to one many nonprofits face.

01 Before
Where it started
- A skilled local roofing contractor with happy customers and almost no presence online.
- About 3 to 4 phone inquiries a week, mostly small, low-profit repairs.
- Thin website content and a weak backlink profile.
- An incomplete Google Business Profile with very few reviews, while larger, better-known competitors held the local results.
02 Method
What was done
- 1
Hyperlocal keywords
Service-specific searches with the place in them, such as "[City] roof replacement" and "emergency roof repair [Neighborhood]", instead of broad terms the big competitors owned.
- 2
Google Business Profile rebuild
The listing was rebuilt and optimized: geo-tagged photos and detailed services, so the profile could compete in the Map Pack.
- 3
Citation building and cleanup
Consistent listings across the major home-service directories (Yelp, Angi and Houzz among them), so every source agreed on who and where the business was.
- 4
Reviews and local links
A simple process for asking customers for Google reviews, plus locally relevant links: home-service directories, local community blogs and regional business associations.

Figures as reported for this campaign, March to September 2025. Results depend on the market, the starting point and time; they are not a promise for another organization.

What this means for a nonprofit
Swap "roofer" for "food pantry", "chapter office" or "church" and the plan reads almost the same: a listing that is complete and correct, the same name and address everywhere, and links from the community around you.
One difference matters for nonprofits: when you ask for reviews, ask everyone you served or who served with you, not only the people you expect to be happy. Google bans selective asking, and so do we.
