We did it to our own listing first

Before MapFix took a single client, we repaired our founder's own Google profile and ad account in one day — and wrote down every fix, including the one still open. This is that list.

0negative keyword themes found in the ad account
0of them were blocking real customer searches
₹400→₹164daily ad budget, same local reach
18→0reviews without an owner reply
Ad account was blocking its own customers
The auto-generated campaign had 602 negative keyword themes nobody had read. 119 were blocking real customer searches — the "near me" phrases, the service name itself, the neighbourhood name. Removed all 119.
Fixed
Budget was burning out in five days
Running at ₹400/day on broad, untargeted inventory. Rebuilt to ₹164/day on local search only, narrowed to three pincodes. Same reach where it counts, 59% less spend.
Fixed
18 of 20 reviews had no owner reply
Only the two angry ones had ever been answered. Wrote 13 individual replies referencing what each person actually said. Unreplied queue now empty — including a polite reply under both low ratings.
Fixed
Services were unsearchable
Entries read things like "Home Services" — phrases nobody types into Google. Rewrote all 8 using the words customers actually search, each with its own description.
Fixed
The Website button was dead
It pointed at a private editor URL — every click hit an error page, and Google had started guessing junk keywords because of it. Link removed, WhatsApp chat button kept.
Fixed
Posts kept getting rejected for a year
Cause: a phone number inside the post text, which breaks Google's policy. Same copy without the number, with a Call button instead, published instantly.
Fixed
Photos and the Products tab
Still empty. Listed here because a repair list that shows only wins is not a repair list.

Beauty parlour
Bhayandar East, Mumbai
23/100

No phone number on the listing at all — Google shows “Add place’s phone number”. A customer who finds it on Maps has no way to call. 3 reviews against a rival’s 32.

Free check · Sept 2026
Interior design studio
Andheri West, Mumbai
23/100

Business name on Google is keyword-stuffed (“| Best Interior Designer Studio In Mumbai”), which breaks Google’s naming policy and risks suspension. Hours say “Open 24 hours”. No website.

Free check · Sept 2026
Dermatologist
Andheri West, Mumbai
27/100

One review, a year old, never answered — clinics in the same search have 59 and 34. No website, no services, no description, so Google does not know it does lasers or fillers.

Free check · Sept 2026
Interior design firm (Pvt Ltd)
Andheri West, Mumbai
33/100

Google is publicly showing “Location may be incorrect” on the profile. Newest review is three years old. Only a landline listed — no WhatsApp.

Interior designer
Andheri West, Mumbai
33/100

“Not happy with the services received” is one of the two quotes Google highlights at the top of the listing, unanswered for six years. Rating 3.8, none of 13 reviews replied to.

Free check · Sept 2026
Skin clinic
Andheri West, Mumbai
33/100

One review from two years ago, no reply. No services, no description, never posted, Products tab empty — while rivals in the same search have 89 and 79 reviews.

Client case studies: MapFix opened for paying clients in September 2026. When a repair is done, the before/after sheet will be published here with the client’s agreement — with their name, or without it, as they prefer. Nothing on this page is invented.
