End of April 2025.
Our Google Business profile: Practically nonexistent.
Position #33. Visibility: 9%.
Map presence: Zero. As if we didn’t exist.
4 days later:
No flood of reviews. No paid traffic. No tricks.
We were in the top 10.
More specifically:
#7 in Sofia.
#2 in our local area.
Visibility up 5x.
Break out of the dead zone in local search
Show up on Google Maps — where the real action is
Rank for the phrase “digital marketing agency”
Prove what 5 days of focused execution can really do
Mission: Top 10 in 5 days.
Let’s go.
This isn’t a YouTube tutorial — no fluff, no checklist.
(But hey, drop us a line if you want one.)
Here’s what we actually did — and more importantly, how we thought:
Treated our profile like a content channel, not a business card
Got ruthless with keyword strategy
Built a legit Q&A game plan and deployed it fast
Worked at a rhythm and pace Google couldn’t ignore
Every update was written for the algorithm — not just to fill space
And the kicker?
We didn’t get 20 new reviews.
We got one.
(As of now, we’ve got two.)
That’s it.
And still — we hit our targets.
So yes, you can rank without gaming the reviews.

Google doesn’t reward “activity.”
It rewards the right kind of activity.
We know what Google looks at.
But more importantly —
We know what gets it excited.
In just 4 days:
The algorithm didn’t just notice us — it chose us
We went from invisible to in the race
Took a ranking spot from businesses with dozens of reviews and years of presence
