Bradco Kitchens is a high-end kitchen design and cabinet maker serving the Los Angeles market. At campaign start, the business was competing in one of the most contested local search verticals in a major metro — luxury kitchen design and custom cabinet making in LA attract intense competition from established showrooms and design firms with deep local authority.
Starting visibility was just 20% on the core luxury design keyword and 34% on custom cabinet makers, with minimal Map Pack presence on both. The grid was predominantly red across the service area.

Bradco Kitchens — Luxury Kitchen Design Los Angeles — November 2025 (20% visibility, 0% Map Pack) → April 2026 (60%, 0%) → July 2026 (77%, 15% Map Pack). Green core now covers most of the grid.
One of the hardest keyword types to rank for locally — premium intent, major metro, established competition. Starting from 20% visibility and zero Map Pack presence, the campaign delivered a 57-point visibility gain and the first Map Pack appearances (15%) by July. The trajectory is firmly upward, with the eastern and outer-ring points as the clear next targets.

Bradco Kitchens — Custom Kitchen Cabinet Makers in Los Angeles — May 2026 (34%, 8% Map Pack) → June 2026 (50%, 14%) → July 2026 (53%, 12%). Green core building outward from center.
A second competitive LA keyword tracked from a later start date. The campaign moved visibility from 34% to 53% with an established Map Pack foothold. The grid shows strong progress in the central core zones. The slight Map Pack fluctuation in July is consistent with normal algorithm behavior and was followed by overall upward growth in the visibility score.
Achieving strong Map Pack coverage is only half the job. Local rankings are dynamic — competitors optimize, Google updates its algorithm, and signals need to stay fresh. These are the ongoing workstreams that protect and continue to grow the results above:
Weekly posts, photo updates, and service descriptions keep the listing signaling relevance to Google. Inactive listings lose ground to competitors who post consistently.
A steady flow of recent reviews is one of the strongest Map Pack trust signals. We monitor, respond to, and encourage reviews on an ongoing basis.
NAP consistency can drift as directories update their data. We monitor and correct any inconsistencies that appear across the citation network.
Monthly grid snapshots track whether each keyword is holding, gaining, or showing early signs of slippage so we can respond before rankings drop.
As the green core saturates, we shift optimization focus to the next ring of grid points. Progress compounds: each new zone captured becomes the foundation for the next.
