Why is my business hard to find online, and where should I start?

Customers often decide whether to contact a local business before they ever visit its website. They see map listings, reviews, directory pages, photos, search results and increasingly AI-generated answers. When those sources are incomplete, inconsistent or negative, the business owner may not even know which part is causing the problem.

Madloba Consult helps local businesses understand what people can find about them online, decide which problem needs attention and commission work with a result that can be checked afterwards.

Short answer

Start with the problem you can see, not the marketing term. If people cannot find you, find the wrong information, see unanswered reputation problems or receive misleading information from third-party sources, we help you identify the relevant service and define a checkable scope of work.

A business audit costs €960. Monthly care is €1,200 per month. Initial setup is €1,200. If you sign a monthly care agreement, the €1,200 paid for initial setup is credited in full towards care for that same month, so setup plus that month’s care totals €1,200, not €2,400.

Describe your business and the problem

Who do you help?

We work with local businesses whose customers make a location-based choice before visiting, booking or calling.

Medical businesses and restaurants are strong areas for Madloba Consult. Dedicated pages explain the context for clinics, dental practices and restaurants without assuming that every business has the same problem.

Other existing industry pages are available through Industries.

What problems can you help me understand?

Why is my business difficult to find on Google Maps or local search?

The problem may involve the business profile, location data, website visibility or other local signals. The first useful step is to define what is happening and what can actually be checked.

What if reviews or other public information are hurting the business?

A reputation problem can be an individual disputed review, a wider pattern of unanswered reviews, inaccurate public information or a mismatch between what the business says and what customers see elsewhere.

What if I do not know what the real problem is?

A paid audit is the existing service for a defined assessment before you decide what to change or commission next. The audit costs €960.

What if I want ongoing help after the initial work?

Monthly care is €1,200 per month. Initial setup is €1,200. When you sign a monthly care agreement, the setup payment is credited in full towards care for the same month. You do not pay €1,200 for setup and another €1,200 for care for that same month.

What if I want to understand what AI systems say about my business?

AI visibility work focuses on what can be observed and measured about how a business is represented in AI-assisted discovery. It does not guarantee that an AI system will cite, mention or recommend a business.

What will I receive from paid work?

The result depends on the service you choose, but the current commercial commitments are concrete.

Business audit: €960. You receive a written report, a recorded walkthrough, a costed list of recommended work and a 90-day action plan. Delivery is within 5 working days after payment and after the information or access required for the agreed audit scope are available. Alex provides final sign-off on the audit package.

Initial setup: €1,200. The agreed written setup scope is completed and handed over with a concise completion list and evidence for each agreed item. Delivery is within 3 weeks after the scope is agreed, payment is received and the required information or access are available. A named Madloba Consult delivery lead is identified in the written scope before work starts.

Monthly care: €1,200 per calendar month. Work starts the next working day after the monthly care agreement is signed and the required information or access are available. A named Madloba Consult account or delivery lead is identified in the written scope. The client receives a written monthly completion summary showing completed work, evidence and any open obligations.

A listed but unfinished item is not treated as completed. For initial setup, all agreed setup items must be delivered unless an exception is explicitly agreed with the client. For monthly care, an open item may appear in the monthly report, but it remains an outstanding obligation; carrying it into a later month requires the client’s explicit agreement.

What do you not promise?

We do not treat outcomes controlled by third parties as if they were guaranteed consultant deliverables.

That includes a particular search or map position by a date, removal of a review by a platform, verification or reinstatement decisions, and citation or recommendation by an AI system.
