The lingo, decoded
Bathroom remodeling SEO glossary: 8 terms every remodeler should know
Plain-English definitions of the words agencies throw around — so you can judge every proposal, including ours, on facts.
- 01Map pack
- The three highlighted business listings Google shows above organic results for local searches like “bathroom remodelers near me”. For most remodelers it produces more first calls than any other ranking surface.
- 02Google Business Profile
- The free listing that powers your appearance in Google Search and Maps. Categories, service areas, photos, posts, Q&A and reviews all feed whether you reach the map pack.
- 03Local SEO
- The discipline of making your company visible for searches in the cities you serve — combining your Google Business Profile, citations, reviews, local content and location pages.
- 04City (service-area) page
- A dedicated page targeting one market you serve, built with genuinely local content: projects completed there, neighborhoods, permits and reviews. Unique pages rank; boilerplate copies get devalued.
- 05Gallery (image) SEO
- Optimizing before-and-after project photos — descriptive filenames, alt text, compression, schema and captions — so they rank in Google Images and inside AI answers.
- 06Review velocity
- The pace at which new reviews arrive on your profile. A steady monthly flow of fresh five-star reviews signals an active, trusted company and directly lifts local rankings.
- 07Core Web Vitals
- Google’s page-experience metrics: loading speed (LCP), interactivity (INP) and visual stability (CLS). Slow galleries and heavy plugins are the usual offenders on remodeler sites.
- 08AEO (AI answer optimization)
- Structuring schema, entity data and quotable answers so ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can verify and recommend your company when homeowners ask who to hire.
