Local SEO

Google Business Profile Optimization

The map at the top of Google sends most local businesses more calls than anything else. Most profiles are only half set up.

What we work on

  • Your category - the highest-impact setting, and the one most often wrong
  • Service areas, hours, and your business description
  • Fresh photos and posts, so the profile stays active
  • Getting reviews - and answering them the right way
  • Tracking calls and direction requests, so you see what it earns

Why the map matters so much

When someone nearby searches for what you do, Google often shows a map with three businesses before any website. Plenty of people call straight from there and never visit a site at all.

Your profile decides whether you are one of those three. Google weighs how relevant you are to the search, how close you are to the person searching, and how well known you look - reviews, photos, and how complete and active the profile is.

You can't move your building. Everything else on that list can be worked on.

How we work on it

  • First we check who owns the profile and get you full access - it is surprisingly often in an old employee's or agency's name
  • Then we fix the settings: the main category, the extra categories, service areas, hours and the description
  • We check that your name, address and phone match everywhere you are listed, so Google sees one business, not three
  • We set up an easy way for happy customers to leave a review, and help you answer every review in your own voice
  • We keep it active with posts and photos, and report what it brought in - calls, direction requests and website visits

What we will not do

No fake reviews, no keyword-stuffed business names, and no made-up addresses. Those tricks can work for a while, and then the profile gets suspended - which is far worse than ranking lower. Everything we do is inside Google's rules, so what you build stays yours.

Is this you?

This service is a good fit if:

  • You're not showing up in the map when people search nearby
  • A competitor with worse reviews outranks you
  • You're not sure your profile is even set up right

We've built this for

Common questions

Why am I not showing up on the Google map?

Usually the wrong category, missing info, or too few reviews. We find the reason and fix it.

How fast does profile work show results?

Fixes can move you in weeks. Reviews and posting build on top of that, month after month.

Do I need a storefront to have a profile?

No. If you go to your customers - a plumber, a cleaner, a mobile groomer - you can hide your address and list the areas you serve instead.
