Real results, on the real map

Every case below is a Google Maps ranking heatmap. Each dot is where the business ranked at that spot on the map, red means buried, green means top of the pack. This is the same grid a customer's phone uses when they search "near me", so it shows exactly what a nearby customer would have seen before we started, and after.

Susan Mwai, Counsellor & Therapist · Nairobi
Avg Maps rank 18 → 8

The challenge: A private counselling practice competing against hospitals and long-established clinics. Outside a tiny patch right by the office, Susan was invisible, on page 2-3 for searches like "therapist near me" and "counsellor Nairobi", so the calls went to bigger names.

What we did: Rebuilt the Google Business Profile with the right primary category and a full, keyword-rich services list, added geotagged photos across the neighbourhoods she serves, set up a simple review-request system, and tightened NAP consistency across citations.

The result: Average map-pack position more than halved, from about 18 to 8, with a green core appearing where there was only red. More of the map now shows her in the running when someone nearby searches.

physio4u, Physiotherapist · Nairobi
Now #1 around the clinic

After

The challenge: A physiotherapy clinic that barely registered on the map, an almost completely red heatmap for "physiotherapist near me" and "physio Nairobi". Patients searching within a few kilometres simply never saw the clinic.

What we did: Full profile optimisation around the clinic's core treatments, service-level descriptions for each condition they treat, review generation from happy patients, and on-page SEO so the website backed up every signal on the profile.

The result: A strong green core formed directly around the clinic, physio4u now ranks #1 in the immediate catchment where most walk-in and "near me" patients search from.

White Cottage School Centre · Westlands, Nairobi
From page 2 to top of the map

White Cottage School Google Maps ranking heatmap after, mostly green
After

The challenge: A nursery and lower-primary school in Westlands stuck on page 2 for "nursery school Westlands" and "kindergarten near me", losing enrolment enquiries to schools that were easier to find.

What we did: Built a fast, 33-page website structured around every programme and the areas the school draws families from, optimised the Google Business Profile, and interlinked it all so Google could see the school as the local authority for early-years education in Westlands.

The result: The heatmap went from orange to mostly green, White Cottage now shows at the top of the map across Westlands and the surrounding neighbourhoods where parents search.
