A customer asks an assistant for a good pizza place nearby and gets three names. Not ten links, three names. This post explains where they come from and why yours is not among them.
Twelve years of trading, a website and a hundred reviews, and the assistant behaves as if you did not exist. That is not random, and there is usually one specific cause.
Almost every local business now has a Google profile. The trouble is that most stop at name, address and phone, and that is not enough for a model to have anything to say.
