But generally its because of the keywords in the name that other businesses are ranking for. Let's say your name is "Trusted AC Repairs".

With the phone number, make sure you have the new phone number on your website. Then ask someone you know who uses Google Maps a lot to find your listing, suggest an edit, and input the new phone number there. That could push the edit through. If you need any help, send me a message. Edit: I didn't know I would get so many messages in my inbox. I'm getting through them as quickly as I can. I have no problem helping. More on reddit.com

IF the GBP is not visible to the public, use a good local guide account that isn't the business email to add a missing place at the address on GBP. USING A PIN AND NOT A SERVICE AREA IS BETTER BY 1000X FOR ORGANIC TRAFFIC. Once the place has been 'created' get a few reviews on it. Then the account you used to set up the google analytics and console, claim the business. IF the profile is visible just not 'active' just do the listings and NAP stuff and connect to analytics and console and wait. Then appeal. More on reddit.com

Pretty sure you can hide your physical address and just put town and zip. Would want to check in on that. But having a GMB especially in the handy man business is extremely important - along with a website - even if it's just basic, but well put together. Request some reviews from past clients to make you rank higher and make you more trustworthy.
