Listing found on Google MapsAustin, TX
✗
Google rating 4.6★ or higher4.2★ from 18 reviews
Fix: Set up a simple review ask (a card at the counter, a text after service) and reply to every review. Review depth and freshness are widely seen as among the strongest local ranking signals — and the ones you control most directly.
✗
25+ customer reviews18 reviews
Fix: Make asking for reviews a standard step after every completed job. 25+ is a common healthy benchmark among local listings — a practical reference point, not a Google rule.
✗
Website linked on profileNo website link.
Fix: Add your website URL to the profile. No website at all? That tends to noticeably lower new customers' trust and willingness to reach out — a simple one-page site (we build those) fixes most of it.
