When you search “plumber near me” or “best beauty clinic in Christchurch” on Google, what’s the first thing you see?
A map. And three business listings right under it.
That magic box is the Google Map Pack — and it’s where most of your future customers are clicking.
If your business isn’t in it, your competitors probably are.
At Findo, we help local New Zealand businesses get into that top 3 (and stay there) — without spending a cent on ads or getting tangled in SEO jargon.
Let’s break down what the Map Pack is, why it matters, and how you can get your business into it.
