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.
Most profiles I audit aren’t broken. They’re incomplete, inactive or built around the wrong searches.
Your primary category decides which searches you can show up for. It’s the most common fix I make.
Missing services, attributes, hours and photos give Google less to match and customers less reason to call.
A profile that never posts or replies to reviews looks quiet next to competitors who do.
Without a simple way to ask, reviews trickle in and competitors pull ahead.
A lot of profile work stops at filling in the fields. Here’s what I usually see, and what I do instead.
Primary and secondary categories, plus every service you offer, written the way customers search.
A clear description and complete details, including special and holiday hours.
Real photos uploaded regularly and posts about offers, jobs and updates.
Your main services shown with descriptions, so customers can see what you do at a glance.
A simple ask process for happy customers, and a reply to every review.
Monthly map scans and a plain-English report on calls, directions and clicks.
I compare your profile with the top three competitors and run a baseline GeoGrid scan.
Categories, services, description, attributes and photos rebuilt around real searches.
Weekly posts, new photos, review requests and replies, every week.
A new GeoGrid scan and a short report on what moved and what’s next.
Most profiles see more calls and better map coverage within 6 to 10 weeks. Brand-new or recently moved profiles can take longer.
It’s improving your profile so Google shows it for more local searches and more people choose to call you. That covers categories, services, photos, posts, reviews and accurate business details.
No. You stay the owner and add me as a manager. You can remove my access at any time.
Usually once a week, using real updates, offers and job photos from your business.
I set up a simple process to ask happy customers at the right moment. I never buy or fake reviews.
It’s often the biggest quick win. In competitive areas it works best alongside service pages, citations and local links.
With GeoGrid scans across your service area, plus calls, direction requests and website clicks from the profile.
