The challenge
A newer studio, in a category people search by what they want fixed, not by business name. Reviews were the weak spot: 33 is credible but thin next to established competitors, and the number of reviews affects both ranking and whether someone who finds the profile picks it. The studio also had little website to speak of, which limits how many of those searches it can reach.
What we did
- Tracked and kept up its Google Maps rankings for 15 searches.
- Ran a full audit of the profile and its place in Google's top three map results.
- Tracked what people did on the profile each day through June, including the spikes around the 10th, 11th and 23rd.
- Checked what Google's AI answers say when people ask about the studio by name.
Where it stands
The studio is named in 16.7% of the AI answers we checked. That is early, and it comes from the same complete profile that holds the Maps rankings. Next: close the one remaining search gap, and get more reviews. At 33 reviews, even five to ten more make a measurable difference to ranking.
