Increase Google My Business, Maps, and Images Rankings

Most people think of SerpClix as a tool for standard Google search results — the ten blue links. But Google’s search ecosystem is much bigger than that, and so is SerpClix.

We support click orders for Google Search, Google Maps, Google My Business listings, and Google Images. If it shows up in Google’s results, you can target it.

Why Maps and local pack rankings matter.

For local businesses, the Google Maps pack — the map with three business listings that appears at the top of many local searches — is prime real estate. Studies consistently show that the local pack gets a significant share of clicks for queries with local intent.

If you run a restaurant, a law firm, a dental practice, or any business that serves a geographic area, your Google Maps ranking directly affects how many customers find you.

The competition for those three local pack spots is fierce. And while traditional local SEO factors like Google Business Profile optimization, reviews, and citations are essential, click-through rate signals play a role here too.

How Google Maps rankings work.

Google’s local ranking algorithm considers three primary factors:

• Relevance — how well your business matches the search query
• Distance — how close your business is to the searcher’s location
• Prominence — how well-known and trusted your business is online

Prominence is where behavioral signals come in. Google looks at how users interact with business listings — clicks, calls, direction requests, website visits. A listing that consistently gets clicked on and engaged with signals to Google that it’s a relevant, trusted result.

SerpClix click orders contribute to these engagement signals. Real human clickers search for your target keyword, find your Maps listing, and click through to it. That’s a genuine behavioral signal from a real user.

Setting up a Google Maps click order.

When creating an order in your SerpClix dashboard, you can specify that you want clicks on your Google Maps or local pack listing rather than a standard organic result.

Choose the right keyword. Use the search terms your customers actually use. For local businesses, these typically include your service plus your city or neighborhood — “plumber Seattle” or “Italian restaurant downtown Austin.”

Target the correct listing. Make sure your Google Business Profile is claimed, verified, and fully optimized before running click orders. The listing needs to actually appear in Google Maps results for your keyword.

Use geo-targeted clicks. Local searches need local clicks. Make sure your SerpClix order is set to the correct Google domain and country so that clickers in your target market are performing the searches.

Google Images: an overlooked opportunity.

Google Images drives more traffic than most people realize. For certain industries — real estate, fashion, food, design, travel — image search can be a significant source of organic visitors.

Image results also appear in standard Google search as an image pack, often above or between the regular organic listings. Ranking well in Google Images can earn you visibility in multiple places on the search results page.

Setting up a Google Images click order.

The process is similar to a standard click order, but you’re targeting your image result rather than a text listing.

Optimize your images first. Before running click orders, make sure your images are properly optimized with descriptive file names, alt text, and surrounding page content. The image needs to already appear in Google Images results for your keyword.

Choose image-heavy keywords. Focus on keywords where Google actually shows image results. Product names, visual topics, and “how to” queries often trigger image packs in the standard search results.

Be patient with results. Image rankings can be volatile. Consistent click signals over time help stabilize your position.

Best practices for local SEO CTR optimization.

Start with your most important keywords. Don’t try to rank for everything at once. Pick the 3-5 keywords that drive the most business value and focus your click orders there.

Maintain consistency. Steady, ongoing clicks produce better results than short bursts. Google’s algorithms look at engagement patterns over time, not just single spikes.

Combine with traditional local SEO. Click orders work best alongside a solid foundation of Google Business Profile optimization, consistent NAP (name, address, phone) citations, quality reviews, and localized content. SerpClix amplifies the impact of everything else you’re doing.

Monitor your local rankings. Track your Google Maps and organic positions so you can measure the impact of your click orders and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Google Search, Maps, and Images are all part of the same ecosystem. SerpClix gives you the ability to send real human engagement signals across all of them.

Please note: there are no guarantees in search engine optimization, ever. There are innumerable factors that can affect search engine rankings. And, realistically, most sites should focus their efforts on traditional SEO before even thinking about using non-traditional techniques like SerpClix. All SEO efforts can involve an element of risk. Some techniques are certainly more risky than others. SerpClix employs real human clickers, so we think our service is far less risky than trying to use automated or robotic click methods. But, like all SEO strategies, there is an element of risk because Google’s algorithm is unknown and subject to change at any time. For more information please see our Buyer FAQs.
