“Restaurant Agadir”, “plumber Aït Melloul”, “car hire Agadir airport”, “dentist near me”: every day, a large number of local searches are made across Greater Agadir. For these queries, Google shows a map and three businesses before the standard results. Here is how to get your business into that list.
1. Create and verify your Google Business Profile listing
A Google Business Profile listing (formerly Google My Business) is free. Create it under your business’s real name — without adding keywords, which Google prohibits — then verify it using the method offered (video, phone call or post). If customers come to you, show your address; if you travel to them, declare a service area instead: Agadir, Inezgane, Aït Melloul, Dcheira, Taghazout…
2. Optimise every field of the listing
- Primary category: this is the most important factor. Choose the most specific one available, then add relevant secondary categories.
- Services and products: list them with a description; they help Google match your listing to searches.
- Opening hours: keep them up to date, including during Ramadan and public holidays.
- Photos: shopfront, interior, team, completed work. Real, recent photos reassure customers and generate more interactions.
- Description: present your business, your city and your strengths clearly.
- Posts: publish your news and offers regularly.
3. Customer reviews: a driver of both ranking and conversion
The number, rating and freshness of your reviews influence both your position and customers’ decisions. Ask for a review after every successful job (a short link sent on WhatsApp works very well), reply to every review — positive or negative — professionally, and never buy fake reviews: Google detects them and may suspend your listing.
4. The same NAP everywhere
Your NAP (Name, Address, Phone) must be strictly identical on your website, your Google listing, your social media and in directories. An address written three different ways muddles trust signals. Take the opportunity to list your business in recognised Moroccan business directories and on the platforms specific to your sector.
5. A website that strengthens your local presence
- Mention your city and service areas naturally in your headings and content.
- Create one page per key service and, where relevant, one page per area (Agadir, Inezgane, Taroudant…) with genuinely specific content.
- Add LocalBusiness structured data (address, opening hours, phone number, service area).
- Make your contact details tappable on mobile: call, WhatsApp, directions.
These optimisations are part of our local SEO in Agadir service.
6. Track your results
Your Google listing’s statistics show the number of calls, direction requests and clicks to your website. Cross-reference them with Google Search Console and your website’s conversion tracking to measure the real impact on your business, month after month.
