There's a version of this problem we see almost weekly. A business has spent real money on a website they're proud of, and it gets almost no traffic. Or the opposite: a Google listing pulling in calls, pointing at a website that loses half of them.
Both are the same mistake, from opposite ends. Getting found and getting hired are two different jobs, and each needs its own thing doing.
The front door gets people in
Your Google Business Profile is what puts you in front of somebody at the exact moment they're looking. It's the shop front on the busy street. No amount of interior design helps if nobody walks past.
The shop floor closes the sale
Your website is where the decision actually gets made. Somebody has clicked through, and now they're deciding whether you look like a business that will turn up, do the job properly and not mess them about. That judgement is made in seconds, mostly on a phone, and mostly on impressions your website either creates or fails to.
A busy front door and an empty shop floor is a business that gets found and doesn't get hired. It feels like a marketing problem. It's a conversion problem.
And the third part nobody thinks about
Beyond those two sits everything else that mentions you — Bing, Apple Maps, Yell, trade directories. When your name, address and phone number don't match across them, it quietly undermines both the other two. Search engines treat inconsistency as uncertainty, and uncertainty costs you position.
That's the whole idea behind how we work: three parts, drawn up together, pointing the same way. Fix one in isolation and you'll usually just move the bottleneck.
