The anatomy of a Google Search Results Page
There are normally 2 – 4 distinct spaces on a Google search results page.
1 Paid Google Ads
At the top are paid Google ads. These are pay per click (PPC) ads that cost anywhere from a few cents per click to several dollars.
2 Business Identity
On the right you may see a Business Identity. If the keywords you searched for closely match a Business name, Google will display that business’s information, including a photo, map location, contact information, hours, write a review button etc. This data comes from your Google My Business Account.
3 Map and Businesses
Below the paid ads, you may see a map with few businesses listed. If the keywords you searched for indicate that you’re looking for a type of business, Google will show a map. Also shown are the top matches on the map. The ranking in this area is mostly based on your Google My Business Account.
4 Organic search results
Then the "Organic Search Results". The ranking in this area is controlled by Google's algorithm and is based on a number of "On Page" and "Off Page" factors.

Register your business to get a Google My Business account. Once you have your listing verified, complete all the information such as:
- Address

- Add photos and videos
Once your account is setup, encourage your clients to leave a review of your business on Google. They can do that by searching your business name on Google and clicking the "Write a Review" button that appears under your business information.
Map Area
Once you’ve set up your Google My Business account, you can compete for ranking position on the map. Several things go into the algorithm that determines which business is shown first, second and third. Part of this is decided by distance from the users location. Other factors such as the number and quality of reviews can help.
Organic Search Results
This is the area that you can best control where you rank. The Google algorithm that decides ranking is based on two main areas: On Page factors and Off Page factors.
