Have you ever wondered why certain contractors pop up first when someone searches for services “near me”? The truth is, your competition may already be winning this battle—not because they spend more, but because they’ve optimized right. Let’s break down how they do it and how you can catch up—fast.
Google interprets “near me” as user intent + proximity, not as a literal keyword. It prioritizes relevance, location, and prominence. RicketyRoo IncSOCiWikipedia
Mobile users dominate these searches—and they’re usually ready to act, not just browse. That means missed visibility equals missed opportunities. lsto.meWikipedia
In fact, 76% of local searches on mobile lead to a visit within a day, and 28% result in a purchase. Wikipedia
