Primary plus secondary categories chosen against the queries you actually want to rank for. Service-area, attributes (women-owned, wheelchair-accessible, 24/7), and product fields all populated.

Geo-tagged photos uploaded weekly, exterior, interior, team, products, before-and-afters. Video for higher-engagement listings. Each tagged correctly for Vision API recognition.

Weekly posts across What's New, Offers, Events, and Products. Posts are a confirmed engagement signal, and Google quietly weights active profiles higher in the Local Pack.
