How to use
Start with the Quick Checklist, then implement each section week by week. Measure with Search Console & call logs.
Quick checklist (ship these first)
- Google Business Profile (GBP) fully completed (primary category, services, hours, phone, WhatsApp link, products/menus, photos).
- NAP consistency (Name–Address–Phone) across website, GBP, and major citations (Bing, Apple Maps, Justdial, IndiaMART, Yelp, Facebook).
- Service pages for each offering + City/Area pages (e.g., “AC Repair in Jodhpur”).
- Reviews flywheel: ask every happy customer, reply to all; highlight real photos.
- Tracking: call links (
tel:) & WhatsApp CTAs with UTM tags; set up conversion goals. - Speed & CWV on mobile: optimized images, font strategy, no layout shifts.
1) Google Business Profile (GBP): your map-pack home
- Primary category (pick 1) + relevant additional categories (2–4).
- Add Services with descriptions & price ranges; enable Messages (WhatsApp style chat).
- Upload 10–20 authentic photos (exterior, interior, team, work samples).
- Post weekly updates (offers, before/after, tips).
- Use a local phone number; add business hours and holiday hours.

Tip: Use the exact business name everywhere; avoid keyword stuffing in GBP name (can get flagged).
2) NAP consistency & citations (Rajasthan list)
- Audit & unify NAP on: Google, Bing Places, Apple Maps, Facebook, Instagram.
- India directories: Justdial, IndiaMART, TradeIndia, Sulekha, Yelp.
- Local chambers/associations: RJ trade bodies, city directories, alumni groups, and local press.
- Use one short description (up to 250 chars) reused across all listings.
// Reusable short description (example)
"Premium AC repair & maintenance in Jodhpur. Same-day service, genuine parts, 30-day warranty. Call or WhatsApp."
3) Pages that rank: Services + City/Area hubs
Create one page per service and one page per city/area. Avoid thin “doorway” pages—make each page genuinely helpful.
- Service pages: features, pricing ranges, FAQs, before/after gallery, reviews snapshot.
- City pages: coverage map, popular neighborhoods (e.g., Sardarpura, Ratanada, Pal Road), local testimonials, directions.
- Include Hindi snippets to match searcher language: “जोधपुर में एसी रिपेयर सेवा — उसी दिन सेवा उपलब्ध”.
AC Repair in Jodhpur
Same-day diagnostics, gas refilling, PCB repair. Service areas: Sardarpura, Ratanada, Pal Road, Chopasni.
4) Reviews that compound (ethically)
- Ask right after service via QR/WhatsApp; include direct GBP review link.
- Reply to all reviews (thanks + specifics); address negatives with a fix & invite to DM.
- Feature photo reviews & staff mentions; add snippets to pages (no fake reviews).
- Don’t mark up self-serving reviews with schema in ways that violate search engine policies.
// WhatsApp request template
"Dhanyavaad! If you liked our service, a short Google review really helps: "
5) Track calls, WhatsApp & directions
Attribute what’s working. Use UTM parameters and call-to-actions you can measure.

Log events in GA4 or a lightweight endpoint; review weekly.
6) Speed on mobile (Core Web Vitals)
- Compress images; serve correct sizes; set width/height to prevent CLS.
- Load chat widgets & heavy scripts after interaction.
- Use a CDN close to India; cache HTML where possible.
// Minimal web-vitals (for the site)
import { onLCP, onINP, onCLS } from "web-vitals";
[onLCP, onINP, onCLS].forEach(fn => fn(m => navigator.sendBeacon("/vitals", JSON.stringify(m))));
7) LocalBusiness schema (JSON-LD)
Help search engines understand your business. Fill in real details—don’t fake ratings or reviews.
If you operate on-site only, use LocalBusiness. If you visit customers, consider Service + ServiceArea pages.
8) 90-day Local SEO plan
- GBP overhaul + photos
- Fix NAP & top citations
- Launch 2–4 service pages
- Enable WhatsApp & call tracking
- Publish 3–5 city/area pages
- Start review flywheel
- Post weekly on GBP
- Improve CWV on mobile
- Local partnerships & PR
- Add FAQs & before/after galleries
- Refine top pages via Search Console
- Consider light paid boost on Maps
Common pitfalls in Rajasthan markets
- Inconsistent names (हिंदी vs English variants) across listings.
- Stock photos only—no local authenticity (teams, storefronts, landmarks).
- Thin “near me” doorway pages with duplicate content.
- Untracked WhatsApp links—no idea which page drives leads.
- Ignoring reviews or replying with copy-paste templates.
Do I need Hindi on my site?
It helps for trust and relevance. Even short sections (headings, FAQs, CTAs) in Hindi can match local search intent while keeping English for wider reach.
Single location vs. service areas?
If customers visit you, emphasize your address and embed a map. If you visit them, build service-area pages for your key cities/talukas and keep GBP service areas updated.
