Google Business Profile Optimization
Google Business Profile Optimization Services
For a local business, the Google Business Profile is often the first thing a customer sees, before your website. We optimise every part of it Google uses to judge relevance and prominence, then keep it active month after month with posts, photos and review management.

The problem
A claimed listing is not an optimised one
Most businesses claim their profile, add an address and phone number, and leave it. Meanwhile the competitors appearing above them in Google Maps have the right primary and secondary categories, a full list of services, recent photos, regular posts and a steady stream of reviews with replies.
Google says local results are based mainly on relevance, distance and prominence. You cannot change your distance from a searcher, and Google is clear that nobody can pay for a better local ranking. You can change how relevant and how prominent your business looks, and that is what this service works on.
Ranking factors
What determines your Google Maps ranking
Relevance
How well your profile matches what someone searched. Complete, accurate categories, services and descriptions give Google more to match against.
Distance
How far your business is from the searcher or the location in their search. This is fixed, which is why the other two factors matter so much.
Prominence
How well known your business is, from reviews and ratings to links, articles and directory listings across the web.

How it works
Our Google Business Profile optimization process
1. Analysis
We audit your profile, the businesses ranking above you and your citations, and agree priorities.
2. Optimisation
Categories, services, description, attributes and photos are updated within Google's guidelines.
3. Engagement
Posts go out regularly, reviews get timely replies and customer questions are answered.
4. Monitoring and reporting
Each month we report calls, direction requests, website clicks and visibility, and adjust the plan.
Why ongoing
Why management works better than a one-time fix
A one-time optimisation fixes what is wrong today. But reviews keep arriving, competitors keep posting, and details such as holiday hours change. Profiles that are left alone gradually fall behind those that are active, which is why our packages are monthly.
The approach also varies by industry. A contractor needs service areas set carefully and photos of finished jobs; a medical practice needs accurate hours and attributes; a restaurant lives on photos and reviews. We tailor the plan to how customers in your industry search and choose.
We work strictly within Google's guidelines. Keyword-stuffed business names, virtual-office addresses and fake reviews can get a profile suspended, and we will not use them. If your profile is already suspended, see our GMB reinstatement service.
Pricing
Google Business Profile packages
Monthly management is offered in four tiers: Basic at $199 a month, Standard at $299 a month, Premium at $499 a month, and Enterprise quoted on request for multi-location businesses. We recommend a tier after auditing your profile and competition.
Setting up a brand-new profile is a separate one-off service.

Questions about Google Business Profile optimization
Still unsure about something? Talk to a specialist — no script, no sales pitch.
Our monthly packages are Basic at $199, Standard at $299 and Premium at $499, with Enterprise pricing for businesses with several locations. The right tier depends on how competitive your area is and how much content and review work is needed. We recommend one after a free audit.
Corrections such as categories and services are often reflected within weeks. Gains from reviews, posts and citations build over months. Results also depend on your competition and distance from searchers, which we cannot change. Monthly reports show calls, clicks and direction requests so you can see the trend.
No. Google states that nobody can pay for a better local ranking, and distance from the searcher is outside anyone's control. Be wary of any service that promises a position. We work on what can be improved, relevance and prominence, and report honestly on what changes.
Yes. Our writers create posts for offers, updates, events and services, with photos from you or images we source, and publish them on a regular schedule. Active posting keeps your profile current and gives customers more reasons to choose you when they compare options.
We set up a simple, guideline-compliant way to ask real customers for reviews, such as a short link and message templates, and we draft replies to every review. We never buy reviews, write them, or offer incentives for them, because that breaks Google's policies and can get a profile suspended.
Manager access to your Business Profile, a list of the services you offer and the areas you serve, any recent photos of your premises, team or work, and the names of a few competitors. We handle the rest and ask for your approval before significant changes.
