Besides for referral clients, using Google Maps to get clients is probably one of my favorite ways to get clients.

And in this short article, I'm going to show you how to do it, step-by-step.

Here’s the best part about this outreach strategy.

It’s simple, but so few do it!

🗺 The Google Map Blueprint

This is what you search on Google:

• [service X city]
• X “near me”

Then here’s what we’re looking at:

⭐️ Reviews (anything less than 3/5)

• To help them, you setup automated email campaign to their customers/clients 7 days after service, asking for a review.

💻 Website

• Bad SEO

• Bad design

• No clear CTA

• Long loading times

If you struggle with knowing how a successful website should look like, checkout my video on Web Design Tips for Beginners:

Now that we know what to do, let’s do it.

Head over to Google and search for:

• Florists near me

• Optometrists near me

• Vein removal in X city

• Landscapers in X city

• Dentists in X city

• Electrician near me

• Painters in X city

• Architects in X city

• Brick pavers X city

• Deck installers X city

• Garage door installers X city

• Storage facilities X city

Once we've found potential leads to reach out to based on our review and website improvement criteria mentioned earlier, it's time to reach out to them and pitch our services.

📧 Outreach Email

Here’s an email guideline you can send to reach out to these leads:

And if you prefer phone calls, this video by Rob o’Rourke is great for Cold Calls.

🎯 Outcome

There are many factors involved, but here's an idea of what you can expect:

• 100 outreach emails

• 5-8 replies

• 1-2 clients

So don't give up so easily after the 7th email...

🔥 Bonus

If you want better results, record a Loom video showing the problem to your lead and add it to your email.
