Understand how Google Maps work
The vast majority of local searches (including for mental health pros and coaches) show organic results from Google Maps. That's why it's so vital to include this tool in your growth strategy. See how Google Maps results work:
Potential client types in a local search query, e.g., "psychotherapist Ottawa"
Google recognizes this query as a local one and displays results directly from Google Maps in the organic search result page.
The rest of the search result page is filled with search ads and other organic results.
Running an active Google Maps account increases your chances of being visible at the top of the search result page for relevant local queries.
