Local Pack

What is the Local Pack?

The Local Pack is the box containing three local search results plus a map that Google prominently displays above the traditional organic results for location-based search queries. Visibility in the Local Pack is often more important for local businesses than ranking first in organic search. Ranking factors: Google Business Profile (complete and actively maintained), the profile’s relevance to the search query, proximity to the searcher, and prominence (reviews, citations, links). At Waterproof Web Wizard, we prioritize optimizing the Local Pack for local SMEs, this is often where the highest concentration of demand is found by far.
