Why most painters miss out
Painting is photo-driven — most painters have weak photo galleries on their GBP and lose to competitors with stronger visual proof.
Generic 'painter near me' is saturated; specialty searches (cabinet, commercial, exterior, epoxy) are wide open and most painters ignore them.
Reviews carry enormous weight in painting because paint quality is hard to evaluate before the job — yet most painters have no review system.
