Local SEO & Google Business Profile

Google Business Profile management

Setup, optimization and ongoing care for your Google Maps listing

Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a local customer sees, before your website. It shows your hours, reviews and photos, with a button to call you.

We set up, verify and optimize profiles, then keep them active with posts, photos, accurate details and replies to reviews. We have set up and managed Google Business Profiles for 160 businesses.

FAQ

Google Business Profile questions

Can’t find your question? Ask us directly.

Can you recover a suspended profile?

Often, yes. We find the likely reason, fix it and submit a reinstatement request with the evidence Google asks for.

Can you post reviews for us?

No. Fake or incentivized reviews break Google’s policies and can get a profile suspended. We help you ask real customers at the right moment.

Do service-area businesses need a profile?

Yes. You can hide your address and list the cities or ZIP codes you serve instead.

How often should a profile be updated?

We post and add photos every week or two, and check your details every month.
