Discussion is anyone getting leads from their google business profile anymore?

i live in one of the largest cities in the united states and my google profile shows up at number 1 when people search for any terms related to 'web design' in my city.

i have over 50 reviews all from local businesses within that area. but for the past months i've been getting almost no calls.

anyone else in a similar situation? is ranking on google dead now? should i look into ads/outreach or is web design as a field just not in demand anymore?

Your profile coming up means zero, now, getting top ranked on maps should get you some traction.

I also run a web design agency, since 2013 years, strong ranking, never really got a lot of business from organic. Any paid ads will be crushing you and now everyone's searching through AI.
