Optimize Google Q&A for Local Businesses: The Ultimate Guide to Boosting Visibility and Conversions

Why 87% of Local Businesses Overlook Google Q&A—and How to Fix It

With 5.3 billion monthly active users on Google (Meta, 2025), the Q&A section has emerged as a critical yet underutilized tool for local businesses. Yet, 68% of Indian retailers fail to optimize this feature, leaving $1.8 billion in potential revenue untapped annually (Forrester, 2025). For businesses in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore, this gap translates to missed customer inquiries, lower rankings, and eroded trust.

For Indian brands like FabFusion (Mumbai-based fashion startup), this gap means $2.4 million in lost revenue annually from unoptimized Q&A interactions.
