The challenge: win Google Maps rank for Coffee, Gelato and Ice cream
Dolcezza Gelato’s challenges focused on two aspects:
1) Improve the ranking of branches in close searches
RAY’s Google Business Profile Audit report showed opportunities for improvement to move from a ranking 8 to a 1 ranking in Keywords related to the business.
2) Achieve appearing for Keywords related to business
The audit of Google Business Profile profiles provided by Ray, also showed that there were searches made by consumers in which Dolcezza branches did not appear. The opportunity was to make the necessary changes so that branches not only appear, but can compete in the 3 positions.

By optimizing your website and online listings for local searches, you can connect with potential customers right when they need your services or products the most.
