Key Findings (Orlando Market)
81.0% have ≥1 issue (320/395)
44.3% use the wrong primary category (not “Kitchen remodeler”)
21.8% list no website
29.6% show an empty address
23.8% appear outside Orlando despite listing “FL”
Top “wrong” primary categories we saw:
Construction company, General contractor, Bathroom remodeler, Contractor, Handyman/Handyperson
Why it matters: your primary category is a primary relevance signal in local search; Google advises choosing the most specific category that describes your core business and using as few categories as needed. Google Help+1
What This Means for Rankings & Revenue
Relevance to intent: If you remodel kitchens but use General contractor as your primary, you’ll miss kitchen-first queries and map packs where Kitchen remodeler is the better match. Google Help
Trust & conversions: No website or a thin landing page reduces proof (portfolio, warranties, financing, timelines), lowering conversion from views to calls/messages.
Policy risk: Phone numbers, “near me,” or marketing taglines in the business name conflict with GBP representation rules—these can lead to edits or worse. Google Help
Service model clarity: Showroom vs. Service-Area Business (SAB) affects whether the address should be visible. SABs should set service areas instead of displaying a storefront address. Google Help
The 20-Minute Fix (Fully Policy-Safe)
1) Business Name (Title)
Do: Use your real-world name as seen on signage and branding.
Don’t: Add keywords, phone numbers, cities, or claims (e.g., “Best Orlando Kitchen Remodeling 24/7”).
Why: Google’s representation guidelines require real-world naming consistency. Google Help
2) Categories
Primary: Kitchen remodeler (if that’s your core service).
Secondary: Only what you truly offer (Bathroom remodeler, Cabinet maker, Countertop store, Tile contractor, etc.).
Rule of thumb: Be specific and keep categories to the fewest that describe your core business. Google Help+1
3) Website (and Tracking)
Always add a site URL. Ideally link to a Kitchen Remodeling in Orlando landing page.
Append UTM tags for attribution:?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=gbp
4) Address vs. Service Area
Showroom: Keep a full, precise address.
SAB (you visit clients): Hide the address and set service areas (e.g., Orlando + nearby cities). Google Help
5) Services, Products & Media
Add Services like Kitchen remodeling, Cabinet installation, Quartz countertops.
Upload before/after photos, materials, team, and showroom shots. Refresh monthly.
Publish Posts (promos, timelines, financing, case studies) 1–2× per month.
6) Reviews & Q&A
Ask for reviews post-project and respond to all reviews.
Seed 5–10 real questions in Q&A and answer them (timelines, permits, materials, financing).

Latest SEO” Alignment (Google-Safe)
People-first content: Build pages that genuinely help customers choose materials, timelines, budgets, and contractors. Avoid “search-engine-first” fluff. Google for Developers
Core updates ready: Google’s core updates continually refine how helpful, reliable content is surfaced. Keep improving content quality and assessing pages after updates. Google for Developers
Spam-policy aware: Avoid scaled, low-quality content or doorway tactics; steer clear of manipulative “parasite SEO” strategies. blog.google
