How do I rank in Google Maps in Singapore?
Fill in your Google Business Profile completely with the right categories, keep your name, address and phone identical everywhere online, collect reviews steadily, and have pages on your site for the services and areas you cover. Google ranks local results on relevance, distance and prominence, so you work on the first and third.
Why is my business not showing on Google Maps?
Usually the profile isn't verified, the categories don't match what people search, the address conflicts with other listings, or competitors simply have more reviews and better pages. I check those in order.
How much does local SEO cost in Singapore?
With me, local SEO is part of the SEO and AI search retainer, from SGD 2,520 a month, month to month. There's no separate setup fee.
How do I get more Google reviews?
Ask every happy customer, right after the job, with a direct link to your review form. A short WhatsApp message with the link works well. Reply to every review, good or bad. Never buy reviews or offer rewards for them; Google's policies prohibit both.
Local SEO or Google Ads: which is better for a small business?
Google Ads puts you at the top today and stops when you stop paying. Local SEO takes a few months but keeps bringing calls for free. Many local businesses run ads while local SEO builds, then lower the ad budget.
How do I rank for 'near me' searches?
Google treats 'near me' as a local search, so the same things apply: a complete Google Business Profile, consistent listings, reviews, and pages that say clearly what you do and where. You don't need to put 'near me' on your pages.
How long does local SEO take to work?
Fixes to your Google Business Profile can show within weeks. Ranking above established competitors usually takes three to six months, depending on how many reviews and how strong a site they have.
Do I need a website for local SEO, or is a Google Business Profile enough?
A profile alone can show in Maps, but a website helps it rank and gives people somewhere to check you before they call. It's also what Google reads to understand which services you offer.
How do I do local SEO for several locations in Singapore?
Each location needs its own Google Business Profile, its own page on your site with that address and phone, and its own reviews. Never use the same page for several branches.
