The biggest drivers are:

  • Accurate and complete Google Business Profile setup (categories, services, attributes)
  • Reviews (quality, consistency, and ongoing velocity)
  • Strong local relevance on your website (service pages + Jupiter targeting)
  • Proximity to the searcher (you can’t control this, but you can control relevance and trust)
  • Consistent business info (name, address, phone) and credible local mentions
  • References and mentions from other reputable businesses about your business

The best results come from combining these into a consistent local presence, not chasing a single tactic.
