Every business owner dreams of seeing their company at the top of Google search results, but for many, that goal feels out of reach. At GBP Rocket, we specialize in making that dream a reality. Today’s 60-day success story highlights a custom portable building company in Oklahoma that went from being virtually invisible online to dominating local search rankings—thanks to the power of Google Business Profile (GBP) optimization and our proprietary AUTOpilot system.
Establishing the Baseline
When we onboard a new client, the first step is running a baseline audit. This audit provides a snapshot of where the client currently ranks for key search terms relevant to their industry. In this case, the client was targeting the keyword “custom portable buildings,” but their Google Business Profile was struggling to gain visibility.
The GeoGrid tracking—a mapping tool that shows search rankings across different locations within a service area—painted a concerning picture. Each circle in the GeoGrid represents a geographic area where the business appears in search results. At the start of our campaign on October 14, 2024, most of the circles showed “20+”, meaning the business was ranked outside the top 20 search results throughout their service area.
Why is this a problem? Because the vast majority of searchers never look beyond the top few results, let alone past the first page. A business ranking outside the top 20 is essentially invisible to potential customers.
The AUTOpilot Effect: 3,907% Improvement in 60 Days
GBP Rocket’s AUTOpilot system was designed to boost local search rankings through a combination of automated optimization techniques. Here’s how it works:
- Listing Optimization: Ensuring the GBP is fully optimized with accurate business details, compelling descriptions, and high-quality images.
- AI-Powered Updates: Regular updates and posts keep the profile active and relevant.
- Review Management: Encouraging and responding to customer reviews to boost credibility and engagement.
- Proximity Boosting: Adjusting the business listing to improve its visibility across a wider geographic area.
By December 13, 2024—just 60 days later—the results were staggering. The client’s GeoGrid showed a 3,907% improvement in search rankings. Many of the once-dominant “20+” rankings had all but vanished, replaced with #1, #2, and #3 rankings across multiple locations.
Why Ranking in the Top 3 Matters
When a business appears in the Google 3-Pack—the top three search results displayed prominently in local searches—it gains massive visibility. Most searchers never go beyond these top results. But the advantages don’t stop there:
- More Website Traffic – Higher rankings drive more clicks.
- Increased Calls and Inquiries – Customers are more likely to engage with top-ranked businesses.
- Stronger Local Presence – Dominating the GeoGrid means being found by potential customers across a broad area.
For this portable building company, appearing in the top 3 positions meant significantly more leads and, ultimately, more sales.
