Why Your Cornish Business Isn't Showing on Google Maps (and How to Fix It)

If someone in Camborne types "electrician near me" and you don't appear in the map pack, you're invisible to the people most ready to book. The good news: most of the reasons are fixable in an afternoon.

1. You haven't claimed your Google Business Profile

It's free. Search your business name, claim it, and verify it. Until you do, Google is guessing — and often guessing wrong.

2. Your details don't match everywhere

Your name, address and phone number should be identical on your website, your profile, Facebook and any directories. "St Ives Rd" on one and "St. Ives Road" on another is enough to muddy things.

3. No reviews, or old ones

Google trusts businesses that real people talk about. Ask every happy customer — a QR code on the van or the counter makes it painless.

4. Your website doesn't say where you work

A site that never mentions Penzance, Hayle or Helston gives Google nothing to match. Name your towns naturally, and give your main areas their own page.

5. Wrong category

"Contractor" is vague. "Roofing contractor" wins. Pick the most specific primary category you can.

The short version

Claim it, match it, get reviews, and make your website clearly Cornish. If you'd like a hand, we'll build you a free working preview first — you only pay if you love it.
