Google Business Profile optimization services
68% of people won’t call a business under four stars. What does your profile tell them?
Your Google profile is the first impression, and often the only one. It decides whether they call you or the next listing.

Customers decide from your profile, not your website.
On a phone, the profile is the business. Look thin next to the others and they call one of those. You never know they looked.

They have more reviews than me
74% of people want reviews from the last three months. Ten old reviews lose to fifty recent ones.

I get views but no calls
A wrong primary category shows you for searches you cannot win and hides you from the ones you can.

My profile was suspended
Suspensions usually trace to the name, address or category. It is fixable once you know which rule it tripped.

The biggest gaps on your profile
Where this has already worked
Belk Appraisal Services
A 35-year Atlanta appraiser had a strong reputation and a profile nobody saw. Google Business Profile work for an appraiser rebuilt it from the categories up, and he went from three to five appraisals a month to three to five a week.
All Source Building Services
A commercial contractor had no local presence for Google to rank. Building the local evidence behind the profile gave Google a reason to show them, and it produced eighty-plus qualified leads and a $300,000 contract.
They took our website, SEO and lead generation to the next level in a highly competitive industry.

Every profile audit answers three questions. Ten checks sit behind them.
Plain-English findings, against the three profiles Google lists first, before you are asked to buy anything.
Does Google show you for the right searches?
Google matches a profile to searches mostly by its categories, services and location. Get those wrong and no amount of reviews fixes it.
Will a customer pick you over the next listing?
Once you are shown, people choose in seconds, mostly from stars, recent reviews and photos.
Does Google see a business that is open and busy?
An active profile is one Google trusts more and one customers believe is still trading.
How long does Google Business Profile optimization take? Changes can show within a day.
Profile edits often go live within a day, so the fixes come first. Reviews and activity build over the weeks after.
Your profile is fixed
Categories, services, name, address, phone, hours, description and photos corrected against the three Google shows first. Most edits go live within a business day.
What we need from you
Manager access to your Google Business Profile
Google only lets a manager edit categories, services and hours. You add one email as a manager in two minutes, and you stay the owner.
New reviews arrive every week
A request after every job, by text or email, and a reply to every review within a day. Count and recency start closing the gap on the listings above you.
What we need from you
A list of recent customers, or a way to know when a job is done
Review requests go out right after the job, when the customer is happiest. A list or a "job done" step in your software is enough to trigger them.
Google sees a busy business
Weekly posts linked to your service pages, and a monthly report on calls, direction requests and the searches you now show for.
What we need from you
A few photos from recent jobs each month
Posts with real work in them get the clicks. Phone photos are fine; nobody needs a photographer.
What owners ask before they hire Google Business Profile management.
What is Google Business Profile optimization, and what is it not?
The work on the profile itself: categories, services, details, photos, reviews and posts, so Google shows you for the right searches and customers pick you. It is not the wider local SEO services around it, such as citations and town pages, which keep you on the map.
How much does Google Business Profile optimization cost?
Profile basics are part of every SEO plan, from $1,000 a month. Full profile management, with weekly posts, review requests and map tracking, is the Local SEO add-on at $500 a month. You can build your plan and see the total on the SEO page.
How long until it works?
Profile fixes are often live within one business day, and the calls and direction requests in your profile usually move within weeks. Make sure the extra calls are picked up: an AI answering service takes the ones that come while you are on a job. Overtaking the businesses above you takes longer, because it depends on reviews and activity building up. Mother Goose Ultrasound Boutique in downtown Roswell was in the map pack a week after its profile was rebuilt; there is more on Google Business Profile help in Roswell, GA.
How do I get more Google reviews?
Ask every customer, at the moment the job is done, with a direct link that opens the review box. A short text works better than an email. Never buy reviews or offer anything for them; Google removes them and it can cost you the profile.
My profile was suspended. Can you fix it?
Usually, yes. Suspensions mostly trace to the business name, the address or the category. We find which rule it tripped, correct it and file the reinstatement request with the evidence Google asks for.
Can I do this myself?
You can, and the Google Business Profile Gap Audit walks you through it against your competitors. What most owners do not have is the time to keep it up every week, which is where the results come from.
Do you need my login?
No. You add us as a manager on the profile and you stay the owner. You can remove access at any time.
What is included in Google Business Profile optimization services?
Categories and services set to match how customers search, a description that leads with what you do and where, photos, products, attributes and booking links, and a way to ask for reviews after every job. Ongoing management adds weekly posts, review replies and map tracking. The check above shows which of these your profile is missing.
