Google Business Profile Optimization Service

Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a customer sees, before your website. I rebuild it around how people actually search in your area, keep it active every week, and report on the calls, direction requests and map coverage it brings in.

THE PROBLEM

Why Your Profile Gets Views but Not Calls

Most profiles I audit aren’t broken. They’re incomplete, inactive or built around the wrong searches.

01

The wrong primary category

Your primary category decides which searches you can show up for. It’s the most common fix I make.

02

A half-empty profile

Missing services, attributes, hours and photos give Google less to match and customers less reason to call.

03

No recent activity

A profile that never posts or replies to reviews looks quiet next to competitors who do.

04

Reviews arriving by luck

Without a simple way to ask, reviews trickle in and competitors pull ahead.

WHY I DO IT DIFFERENTLY

What Most GBP Optimization Gets Wrong

A lot of profile work stops at filling in the fields. Here’s what I usually see, and what I do instead.

WHAT I OFTEN SEEWHAT I DO INSTEAD
✕Fill in the fields once and walk away✓Weekly posts, fresh photos and replies that keep the profile active
✕One generic category✓Primary and secondary categories picked from competitor research
✕Stock photos✓Real photos of your work, team and location
✕Rankings checked from the office✓GeoGrid scans across your whole service area
✕Reports built on views✓Calls, direction requests and website clicks first
