Your GMB Categories Are Wrong (And It's Costing You $50k/year)
That "Construction" category is bleeding your revenue dry.

The $50,000 Revenue Leak
Every time someone searches "bathroom remodeler near me" and you're listed as "Construction Company", you're invisible.
50 missed leads × 25% close rate × $15,000 average bathroom remodel = $187,500 in lost revenue PER MONTH
Your primary category determines everything. Using "Construction" instead of "Bathroom Remodeler" or "Home Improvement" is destroying your visibility.
Think about it: When someone needs a bathroom remodeled, they don't search for "construction company."
Google's algorithm prioritizes specialists over generalists. A "Bathroom Remodeler" will outrank "Construction Company" every time for bathroom-related searches.

The Fix

Your competition is crushing you with the right categories while you're stuck in construction limbo.
