You might assume that if you search for garage door repair near me, you would only see local garage door repair providers. That is not true. I'll explain why.
Did you know that fraudsters are rife in the garage door business? Because of this, several proprietors of garage door companies have been imprisoned and blacklisted from Google. It's a problem that affects the entire business, and trade publications have discussed it.
In Google Local Services, here you will list companies on Google. There is a verification process to get listed in this section, but it’s been found that some of these deceptive companies have found ways around the verification process.
Google Adwords, due to the introduction of Google Local Services, this has been somewhat delayed. When you search for garage door service in my area, these garage door repair businesses will appear at the top of the results. The problem with this is that there are many businesses competing, and in some situations, there is a bidding war where it may cost up to $150 to get you to simply click on their website. Furthermore, traditionally, just a small proportion of consumers who click on a firm really give them a call. Therefore, picture spending $300 to $600 for a call! To make it worthwhile to come out, they would need to charge at least $1,000 and perhaps more. The main problem with Google Adwords for garage door repair businesses and people looking for repair is this. People who are in a panic and aren't looking for local businesses with excellent recommendations usually choose this option. Getting someone to their residence promptly is more important.
This section is easy to identify because it includes a list of garage door repair companies that have gone through a verification process. However, again this verification process can be manipulated by bad companies. There are some great indicators to identify a true local garage door repair company in this category. First, you’ll want to make sure their name isn’t super spammy. If it reads something like "garage door repair" or "garage door spring repair near me”, you can almost guarantee they are spam and you’ll want to stay away from them.
Everyone is pretty much familiar with these. You will need to scroll a bit to get to these results. However, although most national companies will rank higher than smaller local-owned businesses, it’s a great place to get true results.
Do your research, check reviews on multiple sites to ensure you are making the right decision before choosing someone.
