Why the Map Pack is the most valuable real estate in local search
The Google Maps Local Pack — the three business listings that appear at the top of local search results — captures the majority of local search clicks. Businesses outside the Pack are effectively invisible to customers searching for local services.
Getting into the Pack requires two things: a well-optimised Google Business Profile, and backlink authority that signals to Google your business is the most relevant and trusted option for your location and category.
The Google Maps Ranking service builds that authority by targeting three link destinations simultaneously: your website, your GBP share link, and your CID link — the direct entity signal that tells Google your listing is authoritative.
400+ blog post backlinks
Built across niche-relevant sites in our network, linking to your website, GBP share link, and CID link.
Branded keyword targeting
Up to 10 branded keyword variations: brand + keyword, brand + location, brand + near me.
GBP share link backlinks
Direct links to your Google Business Profile share URL to build GBP authority independently of your website.
CID link backlinks
Links to your Google Maps CID link — the direct entity signal that tells Google your GBP is authoritative.

Month 1 and beyond
Google Maps Ranking is a Month 1 power move. Here is the full strategic sequence.
Google Maps Ranking
Run for your primary city. Use branded keywords: brand + keyword, brand + location, brand + near me. This creates the initial authority spike that gets you into the Map Pack.
Press Release — 500+ News Sites
Amplify your Map Pack presence with a press release distributed to 500+ news sites. Each release builds branded authority signals, reinforces your entity in Google's Knowledge Graph, and drives referral traffic to your GBP.
Local Citations
Add Local Citations & Business Listings to build NAP consistency across 300+ directories. This reinforces your entity signals and supports long-term Map Pack stability.
Common questions
What keywords should I provide?
Provide branded keywords and variations: brand + keyword, brand + location, brand + near me. The keywords must include your brand name so Google's GBP populates in Maps and to signal that people are searching for your brand in that location. We target up to 10 keyword variations per campaign.
Is this only for local businesses?
Yes. Google Maps Ranking is exclusively for local businesses with a verified Google Business Profile. If you do not have a GBP, you need to create and verify one before ordering.
How long does it take to get into the Map Pack?
Most clients see Map Pack movement within 30–60 days. The timeline depends on your existing GBP authority, the competitiveness of your local market, and how well your GBP is optimised. We recommend running the service for your main city first, then adding a Press Release to 500+ news sites for ongoing authority maintenance in surrounding areas.
What is the CID link?
The CID (Customer ID) link is the direct Google Maps URL for your specific business listing. Building backlinks to your CID link directly signals to Google that your GBP is an authoritative entity for your location and category — separate from your website's domain authority.
