Why home inspectors need specialized GMB

The home inspectors Map Pack is winnable , if you know how it works.

Customer value: $300-$700 per inspection, $400-$800 with add-ons (radon, mold). That's why every additional Map Pack lead matters disproportionately for home inspectors. A single new customer often pays for months of optimization.

How customers search: 'Home inspector near me', 'home inspection [city]', 'pre-purchase inspection'

Competitive landscape: Moderate. Realtor-relationship driven traffic + Map Pack supplements.

Seasonal patterns: Mirrors real estate spring-summer peak. November-February quiet.

What we measure: Inspection bookings, phone calls
