Why am I not showing up in the Map Pack?
Usually four signals, all fixable. Your primary category does not match the money search. Your services list is thin or auto-filled with noise. Your website says nothing machines can read, so Google cannot verify what your profile claims. And your name, address, and phone drift between your site and your profile just enough to break trust.
Google fills the Map Pack with businesses it can verify, not businesses that are best. That is bad news the day you learn it and good news every day after, because verification is an engineering problem and engineering problems get solved.
How do you actually move Map Pack rankings?
We start by measuring reality. A 49-point Local Falcon grid scan shows your real ranking at 49 spots across San Antonio, not the one flattering result you see from your own office. Green means top three. Most prospects see a lot of red.
Then the alignment work: primary and secondary categories matched to how customers search, a clean services list, and a website rebuilt to mirror the profile field for field, schema included. Google reads both, sees one entity, and starts trusting you with placement. We rescan on the same grid so you watch the map change color with real data.
How long does local SEO take to work in San Antonio?
Profile-level fixes often move rankings within two to six weeks. The entity alignment that holds those rankings takes longer, usually a full quarter, because Google rechecks consistency over time before it commits.

Questions San Antonio businesses ask us
The Map Pack is the group of three local businesses Google displays with a map at the top of local search results. It appears above the regular listings, captures most local clicks and calls, and is driven by your Google Business Profile, your website, and the consistency between them.
Match your primary category to the search you want to win, complete your services and hours, earn steady reviews, and make your website mirror your profile exactly: same name, address, phone, categories, and schema. Consistency between profile and site is the signal most San Antonio businesses are missing.
Monthly local SEO in San Antonio commonly runs several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on competition and scope. We price after a free scan and a 15 minute readout, so the plan is based on your actual gap, not a package guess.
Yes. Review count, rating, recency, and your replies all feed local ranking. Reviews work best when the rest of the entity is aligned; a 5.0 profile with a misaligned website still gets filtered. Our roofing client pairs 471 five-star reviews with full alignment, and holds the map.
No honest agency can, because Google decides. What we do instead is measure your rankings at 49 real points across San Antonio, fix the signals that hold you back, and rescan on the same grid so progress is visible data, not a report you have to take on faith.
