A pool and patio store in Kelowna, BC, saw far more customers reach out through Google, even as fewer people saw their listing.

📞 Phone calls: 401 → 869 (+117%)
📍 Direction requests: 293 → 459 (+57%)
🖱️ Website clicks: 669 → 821 (+23%)

Profile views dipped 11% per day, yet total customer actions climbed 58%. A complete, actively managed listing turned far more of those views into calls and store visits.
