How local search works in Maitland

When someone in Maitland searches for a service, Google shows three businesses on the map based on three factors: relevance (whether your profile and site say what they searched), distance (where that person is relative to your address) and prominence (how many recent reviews you have, whether your name, address and phone match everywhere, and how many sites mention you). Across Orange County the results change from one neighborhood to the next, and a business that wins on its own street can be invisible two miles away. That is why we measure with a rank grid over Maitland rather than a single position.

What we check first for a Maitland business

• The Google profile's primary category and services against the competitors that appear in the map
• Whether the service area actually covers Maitland
• Reviews: how many, how often they arrive, and whether they are answered
• Citations: identical name, address and phone across the directories that matter in Florida
• Whether the website has a real page about Maitland or only mentions the city in the footer
• Speed and mobile usability, because most of these searches happen on a phone

With that done, the work follows the same order as in any city: fix what is broken in month one, publish pages written for Maitland in month two, and show the first movement in the rank grid in month three. Published prices apply in Maitland exactly as in Orlando.
