What Google weighs

Why one remodeling contractor outranks another

The primary category: Google has to list you as a remodeling contractor first, not something close. One wrong category and you're invisible for every search above.
Reviews: how many, how recent: The businesses in the top 3 for "remodeling contractor" in Charleston usually have more reviews, and newer ones, than the ones below. Steady beats a burst.
Services on the profile: Kitchen remodeling, Bathroom remodeling, Home additions, Whole-home renovation: each one listed on your Google profile is a match for a search like "kitchen remodeling". Most remodeling contractors list none.
A page for each service: A site page that talks about kitchen remodeling the way customers do gives Google a reason to show you for "kitchen remodeling". A single homepage doesn't.
Photos and hours: Real photos of the work, added regularly, and hours that match your door. Google reads both as "this business is alive."
Distance, which you can't change: Google favors whoever's closest to the searcher. Everything above is how you win the spots that aren't right next door.
