Why Most Cape Town Vet Practices Are Invisible on Google

|---|---|---|
| No Google Business Profile optimisation | Missing from the map pack for "vet near me" and emergency searches | Full GBP setup, categories, photos, services and posting schedule |
| Thin or missing service pages | Google can't match your site to searches like "pet dental care Cape Town" | Dedicated SEO-optimised pages targeting each core service |
| Low review volume vs competing practices | Map pack ranking and pet owner trust suffer | Automated, ethical review-request workflow |
| Slow-loading, non-mobile-optimised site | Anxious pet owners in an emergency bounce before finding contact info | Core Web Vitals fixes and mobile speed optimisation |
