Find Out for Free With Our Local Visibility Report
Does your local business appear among the top three results on Google Maps when someone searches for what you offer in your area?
If you don’t know, you could be losing dozens of customers every day.
At YellowRock Marketing, we’ve created a free local visibility report that tells you exactly where you’re ranking — and what to do to stand out above your competitors.
In this article, we explain why the Google Top 3 is so decisive, how local ranking works, and how you can request your free report to start gaining customers from Google without paying for ads.
What Is the Google Maps Top 3 and Why Is It So Important?
When someone searches “coffee shop near me,” “hair salon in [city],” or “dental clinic open today,” Google displays a map with three featured businesses right below the search bar.
This block is called the Local Pack or Google Maps Top 3.
Being in this Top 3 is the digital equivalent of having the most visible storefront on the main street — while other businesses remain in the background or don’t appear at all.
Benefits of being in the Top 3:
More visibility: 75% of clicks stay within the first 3 results.
More calls and visits: users call, request directions, or book directly from the map.
More trust: businesses Google ranks at the top are perceived as better.
Highly qualified traffic: you attract people already searching for what you offer.
If you’re not in that block, chances are customers aren’t even considering you.
How Does Google Decide Which Businesses Appear First?
Google uses a combination of factors to choose the winners of the Top 3. The main ones are:
1. Proximity
How close your business is to the location where the user performs the search.
Important — but not the only factor.
2. Relevance
How well your profile matches what the user is looking for.
This includes category, keywords, and your business description.
3. Prominence (Popularity)
How well-known your business is online, based on:
Number and quality of reviews
Whether reviews include relevant keywords
Whether you respond to reviews
Recent activity on your profile
Mentions on other websites
The Impact of Local Ranking on Your Sales
Many local businesses neglect their Google profile — and lose sales without realizing it.
Investing in social media or ads helps, but your Google profile is where buying decisions start.
Real example:
Two neighborhood restaurants with good food and similar prices.
One appears in the Top 3; the other sits at position 9.
The first receives 300+ calls per month from Google Maps.
The second barely reaches 30.
Local ranking is not an add-on — it’s a competitive advantage.

What If You’re Already in the Top 3?
Great — the report will help you maintain your position and expand into new areas.
You’ll also detect threats from new competitors and adjust your strategy.
And What If There’s Too Much Competition?
Even in saturated areas, most businesses are not properly optimized.
Many don’t respond to reviews, don’t include keywords, or have incomplete profiles.
This gives you the advantage.
We can also help you rank zone by zone:
first dominating your immediate radius, then expanding into nearby streets and neighborhoods.
Every Day You’re Not at the Top, You’re Losing Customers
Studies show that businesses in the Top 3 receive 5 to 10 times more interactions from Google Maps.
If your profile sits at position 6 or 9, you’re losing visibility and sales.
With the right strategy, you can claim that spot without spending on ads.
You just need to:
Optimize your profile
Manage your reviews intelligently
Apply continuous improvements with professional guidance
Our free report is the first step.
