📍 Why Google Maps = Agency Opportunity

Every local business needs visibility.
And 93% of them depend on Google Maps to get found.

But here's the problem:

  • Most don’t have a verified Google Business Profile
  • Many have outdated hours, bad images, or no photos
  • Few have 360° Street View tours
  • Almost none post updates, respond to reviews, or use keywords properly

As an agency, you can fill these gaps and add high-value services your clients will happily pay for — monthly.
