Google Business Profile
Show up on the map when locals search for you.
For most contractors and local service businesses, the map pack matters more than organic position ten. Google Business Profile is how you get there — and most profiles are half-filled, miscategorised, or sitting with twelve reviews while a competitor has eighty. I fix that.
What good looks like
A verified profile with the right primary category, every service listed with a description, real geotagged photos, and a steady flow of reviews. Categories and service areas that match how customers actually search — not how Google's defaults guess.
Results I've delivered
For Sackville Optometry, Google reviews went from 26 to 42 in a single week after profile optimisation and a review workflow. For another client, fixing GBP categories and service areas moved them into the local three-pack for their primary term within a month.
Standalone or bundled
GBP work runs on its own as the $497 Profile Rescue or alongside a site build. If your website and profile tell different stories — different name, phone, hours — Google trusts neither. I align them.
Can you guarantee the #1 map spot?
No one ethical can. I can guarantee the profile is set up correctly, categories match your services, and you have a system for reviews and posts. That's what moves the needle.
Do I need a website too?
A website helps — Google cross-checks your NAP and sends profile visitors somewhere credible. But GBP optimisation alone can move the needle if your profile was neglected.
