Google Business Profile Optimization
Own the map pack in the towns you actually serve.
Why this matters for your business
Your Google Business Profile is the single highest-intent asset your business owns. Someone searching 'emergency plumber near me' at 9pm is not reading your homepage — they are comparing three map results, glancing at reviews, and tapping call. We build that profile into a conversion surface that Google trusts and customers pick.
The problem we usually find
Most profiles are set up once and forgotten. Wrong primary category, thin service list, no geotagged photos in the last year, unanswered questions, and a service area drawn wider than the business can rank for. Google reads all of that as low relevance, and competitors two towns over take the calls.
What changes
- Higher visibility in the three-pack for the searches that produce phone calls
- A profile that answers buying questions before a customer ever clicks through
- Clean, consistent business data that supports every other ranking signal
- Monthly reporting tied to calls, direction requests and website clicks
Deliverables
What's actually included
Category and services architecture
We test primary and secondary categories against the businesses currently ranking for your money keywords, then build out the full services list with descriptions written for humans and parsed by Google.
Service area and proximity strategy
Proximity is the strongest local ranking factor you cannot buy. We map realistic radius targets, prioritize the towns where you can genuinely compete, and support outlying areas with dedicated location pages instead of an unrealistic service area.
Media and trust assets
Fresh job-site photography, team and vehicle shots, before-and-after sets, and short video uploaded on a recurring schedule with correct file naming and metadata.
Posts, Q&A and product tiles
Weekly updates, seeded and monitored Q&A that handles objections, and product or service tiles that give searchers a reason to choose you inside the search result itself.
Spam fighting
We report keyword-stuffed names, fake lead-gen listings and out-of-area competitors that push legitimate businesses down the map. Removals often move rankings faster than any on-page change.
How it runs
From audit to measurable movement
- 1
Audit
A full profile and competitor teardown showing exactly where you sit in a grid of local searches across your service area.
- 2
Rebuild
Categories, services, description, attributes, hours, booking links and media are corrected and expanded in one structured pass.
- 3
Feed
Ongoing posts, photos, Q&A and review activity keep the profile fresh — the signal most competitors abandon after month two.
- 4
Measure
Geo-grid rank tracking plus call and direction-request data show movement town by town, not just a vague 'impressions up' chart.
