Appliance Shark came to us with a strong local reputation (338 Google reviews at 4.9/5.0) but a Google Business Profile missing secondary categories, a services list, and a keyword-rich description — real search volume left on the table. We closed those gaps and paired it with ongoing SEO, and organic traffic more than doubled within six months.
The gap: a full technical crawl and GBP audit surfaced problems on both fronts, with the Google Business Profile and citation footprint the weakest link.
The fix: resolved the noindex directives and broken links, rewrote thin pages and duplicate titles/H1s for real keyword targeting, corrected NAP across citation listings, added secondary GBP categories (Appliance Repair Service, Used Appliance Store), and populated the services list with a keyword-rich business description.
The result: organic sessions grew from roughly 1,500 to 3,300 a month, search clicks rose 21.6% quarter over quarter, and average ranking position climbed from 11.2 to 10.3.
