Hi, my name is Noah Woods — I live on Walled Lake and graduated from the University of Michigan. I've been looking up businesses around here the way a new customer would, and when I search Wixom Nails, placejuice, hub.biz and a Yahoo listing all come up ahead of your Google Sites page. The directories are collecting your customers before they ever reach you.

Hi, my name is Noah Woods — I live on Walled Lake and graduated from the University of Michigan. I've been looking up businesses around here the way a new customer would, and the menu site that ranks for you — ultimatepizzachickenmenu.com — isn't yours, and it lists (248) 453-1485. Your Yelp and Grubhub both say (248) 926-0266. People ordering are calling a number that isn't your shop.

Hi, my name is Noah Woods — I live on Walled Lake and graduated from the University of Michigan. I've been looking up businesses around here the way a new customer would, and the website link on your Google listing doesn't reach your menu anymore — lgeorgeswalledlake.com forwards to an online slots page. I checked it myself this morning.

Hi, my name is Noah Woods — I live on Walled Lake and graduated from the University of Michigan. I've been looking up businesses around here the way a new customer would, and the tap-to-call button on your Webflow page dials +61 8 9471 7645 — an Australian number left in from the template — and the contact form goes to the template company. There are three more numbers on that page and a fourth on Yelp.

Hi, my name is Noah Woods — I live on Walled Lake and graduated from the University of Michigan. I've been looking up businesses around here the way a new customer would, and Nextdoor lists you in Walled Lake while Yelp lists you in Commerce Township. When the directories disagree, Google gets less sure where you are and that costs you map placement — and there's no site of your own to settle it.

Hi, my name is Noah Woods — I live on Walled Lake and graduated from the University of Michigan. I've been looking up businesses around here the way a new customer would, and V J's Hair Studio doesn't have a website at all — what comes up is 411.info, MapQuest and businessyab scrapes, and the newest review showing on those is from 2017. So a new customer sees a nine-year-old snapshot of your salon.

Hi, my name is Noah Woods — I live on Walled Lake and graduated from the University of Michigan. I've been looking up businesses around here the way a new customer would, and Hair-Port doesn't have a site of its own, so the MapQuest page people land on literally says its description was 'generated from their business information' — and your hours show as 'not available.' Someone deciding where to get a cut can't even tell if you're open.

Hi, my name is Noah Woods — I live on Walled Lake and graduated from the University of Michigan. I've been looking up businesses around here the way a new customer would, and your Birdeye profile — the one with 90 reviews — still says 'this profile has not been claimed by the business owner,' and your own homepage headline just reads 'Welcome to' with the spa's name missing. Yahoo and MapQuest are outranking your real site because of it.

Subject: Google can't read your homepage
Hi, my name is Noah Woods — I live on Walled Lake and graduated from the University of Michigan. I've been looking up businesses around here the way a new customer would, and theeraeffect.com's homepage is built as one big image, so there's no text on it for Google to read — only your /fitness page has readable content. That's why ClassPass, Wellhub and gym-usa.nears.me show up ahead of you when someone searches the studio by name.

Hi, my name is Noah Woods — I live on Walled Lake and graduated from the University of Michigan. I've been looking up businesses around here the way a new customer would, and everything for Lena's Kitchen runs on an Owner.com ordering template at orderlenaskitchen.com — there's no lenaskitchen domain you actually own. Meanwhile you've got 395 reviews stacked up on Restaurantji. That's a lot of reputation pointing at a page that isn't yours.

Hi, my name is Noah Woods — I live on Walled Lake and graduated from the University of Michigan. I've been looking up businesses around here the way a new customer would, and Yahoo Local has your practice filed under 'Orthodontists' rather than general and cosmetic dentistry, and keyword-stuffed pages like /michigan/dentist-walled-lake-mi/ are outranking walledlakedentist.com for your own name.

Hi, my name is Noah Woods — I live on Walled Lake and graduated from the University of Michigan. I've been looking up businesses around here the way a new customer would, and your GoDaddy site and online ordering look fine — but a clone page, dollys-pizza-walled-lake.menu-world.com, is showing up for brand searches alongside it. Every order that goes through the clone instead of your own ordering page costs you the margin.

Hi, my name is Noah Woods — I live on Walled Lake and graduated from the University of Michigan. I've been looking up businesses around here the way a new customer would, and your shop's name doesn't match across the web: Yelp says 'The Oil Exchange & Auto Repair,' Google says 'The Oil Exchange and Auto Care Center,' MapQuest just says 'Oil Exchange.' With ~252 reviews at 4.5 stars behind you, that mismatch is the thing splitting your map presence.

Hi, my name is Noah Woods — I live on Walled Lake and graduated from the University of Michigan. I've been looking up businesses around here the way a new customer would, and tomsahandyguy.com now says you've shifted to painting exclusively under Mitten Painters LLC — but Yelp and MapQuest still list and market you as a handyman. Customers searching painting don't find the new company, and customers finding the old one ask for work you don't do anymore.
