Why Isn’t My Business Showing Up on Google?

If you’ve searched your business name and come up empty, you’re not alone. Many small business owners run into this problem — but the good news is, it can be fixed.

Top reasons your business may be missing:

1. Your Google Business Profile isn’t claimed or verified.

   Without verification, Google won’t display your profile.

   
2. Inconsistent business info.

   If your name, address, and phone (NAP) don’t match across the web, Google gets confused.

   
3. No schema markup.

   Schema is background code that tells Google exactly what your business does. Without it, you’re harder to read.

   
4. Few reviews or fresh content.

   Google prioritizes active businesses with strong ratings.


Quick Fixes:

• Claim and verify your Google Business Profile.

  
• Audit your online listings for consistency.

  
• Add schema markup to your website.

  
• Request reviews after every job or sale.
