Where Childcare and Education Businesses Get Found on Google
We measured what a childcare search looks like on a phone in Phoenix. Within 15 km of central Phoenix we found 149 childcare centers and looked at the first 100. We measured childcare centers only; education businesses were not measured.
The map comes first.
For a "near me" search for childcare, Google's map of local businesses was the first result on the page, and Google showed no AI overview.
Many profiles are thin.
In our Phoenix sample, 52% of childcare centers had fewer than 25 Google reviews. The central values in the sample were a 4.4 rating and 23.5 reviews.
Some profiles fall short or were never claimed.
26% were rated below 4.0 stars, and 24% had never claimed their Google profile.
Based on the first 100 childcare centers within 15 km of central Phoenix (149 in that area); one "near me" search on a phone, one day. Measured October 11, 2026. Childcare centers only; education businesses were not measured. This is not all of Arizona.
Where a Childcare or Education Business Can Be Missed on Google
If any of these looks like your business today, that is where our work starts.
The map shows up before your website does, and your profile may not be on it.
For a "near me" search for childcare, Google's map of local businesses was the first result on the page. Of the 100 childcare centers we checked in Phoenix, 24% had never claimed their Google profile.
What we do. Your profile is claimed, complete and kept current, so you can be a choice on that map, not a name under it.
Fewer than 25 reviews, next to a profile with more.
In our sample of 100 childcare centers in Phoenix, 52% had fewer than 25 Google reviews.
What we do. Every parent or student gets asked for a review, the same way, every time, by QR code, SMS or email. We ask every one, not just the happy ones.
More than one in four profiles is rated below 4.0 stars.
In the same sample of 100 childcare centers, 26% were rated below 4.0 stars.
What we do. Every review you get receives a reply, so a low rating is not left unanswered.
What We Do for Childcare and Education Businesses, in Four Places
Google Maps.
We set up and keep your Google Business Profile current, set up a way to ask every parent or student for a review, and handle the replies. We ask every one, not just the happy ones.
Google Search.
We keep your business details consistent across the directories people use, and track where you show up locally.
Your website.
From Local Growth, we work on the website you already have: its pages, how it turns visitors into contacts, and what Google can read on it. The aim is a site that shows at a glance what you offer, where you are and how to reach you.
AI search.
In Local Growth we set up your AI search visibility. In Local Authority we monitor it. We do not promise a place in any AI answer.

Questions Childcare and Education Owners Ask Us
Do you work with childcare and education businesses?
Yes. Childcare and education is one of the kinds of local business we work with, and the same plans apply.
How much does it cost, and how long do I have to stay?
Local Visibility is $377 a month, Local Growth $577 and Local Authority $877, plus a one-time $500 setup charged once at the start. Plans start with a 90-day minimum. After that, you can cancel with 30 days' notice.
Will you put my business at the top of Google, and how will I know it's working?
No, and nobody honest can promise that. We don't guarantee rankings or call counts. At 90 days we review your Google visibility, reviews, website activity and completed optimization work with you, so you can see what has changed. Between those reviews, you get a monthly visibility review, and we handle replies to your Google reviews.
What do you do about my Google reviews?
We set up a way to ask every parent or student for a review, such as a QR code, SMS and email, and we handle replies to the reviews you get. We don't write reviews for you, and we ask every one, not just the happy ones.
Do I need a new website?
Not to start. The plans cover work on the website you already have. A new website is a separate offer: see New Websites.
What happens on the intro call?
It's 15 minutes. We look at how you show up on Google today, your reviews and your website, then tell you what we'd do, or tell you straight if we're not the right fit.
