Why No One Is Finding Your Business on Google (And How to Fix It)

SEO for local business

Why You’re Not Showing Up Online

If you’ve recently launched a home service business—plumbing, HVAC, roofing, solar—you’ve likely Googled your service and found… nothing. Your website is live, but you’re buried on page 10. The reason? Poor SEO for local businesses.

This is one of the biggest headaches for new business owners. You’ve done the hard work: set up your company, built a website, maybe even started a Facebook page. But the phone isn’t ringing. Why? Because potential customers can’t find you when they search online.

The Quick Fix: Local SEO Basics You Can Do Today

Before diving into the deeper fixes, here are three immediate actions you can take:

  • Claim and complete your Google Business Profile. Make sure your contact info, hours, and services are accurate.
  • List your business on local directories. Sites like Yelp, HomeStars, and Houzz can drive local traffic.
  • Use the right keywords. Make sure your website content mentions your city and the services you offer (e.g., “emergency plumber in Mississauga”).

These small tweaks won’t rocket you to the top, but they’ll start to tell search engines where you are and what you do.

Why It Matters: Visibility = Sales

Here’s the harsh truth: even the best website won’t generate leads if no one can find it.

  • 46% of all Google searches are looking for local information.
  • If your competitors are optimized and you’re not, you’re invisible.
  • SEO doesn’t just bring traffic—it brings the right traffic. That means actual people in your area searching for your exact service.

If your plumbing website is gorgeous but doesn’t mention “emergency plumber in Toronto,” how will people in Toronto find you?
