Executive Overview

Campaign Background & Objectives

Local retail stores face intense competition from nearby distributors. By executing a strict Google Business Profile optimization program, The Digi Ghost helped a multi-branch hardware business capture the top 3 spots on Google Maps across a 15-kilometer radius.

The Initial Bottleneck

Ranked beyond position 12 on Google Maps for high-commercial search terms like 'hardware store near me'.
Inconsistent business name and phone numbers listed across multiple legacy directory citations.
Fewer than 15 customer reviews accumulated over 5 years of operation.

Strategic Architecture

Re-align primary and secondary business categories strictly to Google merchant guidelines.
Deploy in-store QR code review acquisition cards empowering sales clerks to collect authentic customer feedback.
Perform weekly geo-tagged photo uploads and publish weekly Google updates showcasing product inventories.

Execution Blueprint

Tactical Implementation Steps

1. Resolved 35 duplicate directory citations ensuring 100% NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistency.
2. Built custom counter displays with direct Google review short-links for retail customers.
3. Added 120+ high-resolution, geo-coded photos of inventory, aisles, and store exterior.
4. Configured automated WhatsApp greeting notifications for customers calling the GMB phone number.
