Google Business Profile optimisation in Pattaya — what actually moves the map pack

Bilingual Thai + English business-name fields are the single highest-leverage GBP change for a Pattaya business — we routinely see 20-30% map-pack visibility lift from filling that one field correctly. Most agencies miss it because their playbook is US-built.
The other levers (in order of impact): weekly Google Posts in Thai, photo updates from the actual venue (not stock), and the review-earning playbook — earn rate of 20%+ from properly-asked customers vs 3-5% from “please leave us a review on the card” passive prompts.
We don’t buy fake reviews. Pattaya has enough real businesses to earn reviews honestly; the agencies that buy reviews here get flagged within 6 months because Google’s spam team explicitly hand-audits Pattaya as a known fake-review market.
