Why are 75% of SMBs invisible on Google?

Three causes: 40% of SMBs have no Google Business Profile at all (many traditional shops never took the step). 25% have a listing with outdated or incomplete information (wrong hours, vague category, no photos). 35% have no recent customer reviews, which degrades their positioning in the Google algorithm.

What is the financial impact of this invisibility?

A Google-invisible shop loses between 15% and 30% of its potential revenue according to BrightLocal estimates (2024). For a shop generating 200,000 EUR/year, that is a loss of 30,000 to 60,000 EUR/year. At the scale of a town with 100 shops, the cumulative shortfall reaches millions.
