How do I get my business to show up on Google?

Start by claiming and verifying your Google Business Profile, then build trust with consistent reviews, posts, and local content. Use a website and optimize both for AI and search visibility.

What is the Google Map Pack?

The Map Pack is the group of 3 local business listings that appear at the top of Google when people search for services near them. It's powered by Google Business Profiles and location relevance.

Can I show up in AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Yes — if your website and online presence are structured clearly, answer real user questions, and are consistent across your GBP, content, and citations. Tools like Perplexity can cite you directly.

Do I still need a website if I have a Google Business Profile?

Absolutely. A website helps you rank in organic results, shows AI tools what you do, and reinforces your GBP data with deeper trust signals. Google looks at both for relevance and authority.

How to Get Found on Google in 2025

The No-Fluff Guide to Showing Up in Maps, Search, and AI Tools Like ChatGPT & Perplexity

If your business isn’t showing up on Google — or showing up in the wrong places — you’re not alone.
Google’s local results have changed. And now with tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews dominating search, visibility requires more than just a profile.

The good news?
You don’t need to hire a big agency or spend $1,000/month to start showing up.

Below is a free collection of step-by-step guides I’ve created to help small, local businesses like yours get found — and trusted — online.

📍 Start Here: Set Up & Fix Your Foundation

Before you can rank, Google needs to trust you. Start here if your profile is missing, suspended, or just not doing anything.

📈 Want to Rank in the Google Map Pack?

Getting seen in the 3-Pack isn’t random — Google is scanning your activity, trust signals, and relevance.

🤝 Build Trust With Real-World Signals

Google looks beyond your profile. Reviews, posts, and photos are what build long-term visibility.

🤖 Show Up in AI Tools Like ChatGPT and Perplexity

This is the new SEO — and it’s already happening.
If you want to be surfaced in ChatGPT answers, cited in Perplexity, or show up in Google’s AI Overview results, this is where to start.
