Google Business Profile
Your customers are searching. Can they find you?
56% of local businesses haven't claimed their Google listing. If you're one of them, customers are finding your competitors instead. We fix that.
Google Business Profile
56% of local businesses haven't claimed their Google listing. If you're one of them, customers are finding your competitors instead. We fix that.
The Basics
When someone searches "plumber near me" or "best pizza in [your town]," Google shows a map with three businesses. That map — the local pack — is powered by Google Business Profiles.
Your Google Business Profile is your free listing on Google. It shows your business name, address, phone number, hours, photos, reviews, and a link to your website. It appears in Google Search and on Google Maps.
Here's why it matters: 87% of consumers use Google to evaluate local businesses. If you don't have a profile — or if yours is incomplete, outdated, or unverified — you're invisible in the most important search results for local businesses.
Your Google Business Profile is often the first impression a customer has of your business. Before they visit your website, before they call you, they see your profile. If it has no photos, wrong hours, or zero reviews, they scroll past you and click your competitor.
Priority
If you're a new business trying to decide what to spend money on first, the answer is clear: claim your Google Business Profile before anything else.
Google Business Profile costs nothing. It's the most valuable free marketing tool that exists for local businesses. The only cost is the time to set it up properly — or hiring someone like us to do it right.
A website takes weeks to build. A Google Business Profile can be live in days. Once verified, you immediately appear in Google Maps results. Customers can find your phone number, hours, and directions right away.
For most local businesses, their Google Business Profile generates more phone calls than their website. People search, see the listing, and tap "Call." They never even visit your website. That's not a problem — it's a conversion.
Google reviews are the new word of mouth. A business with 50 genuine reviews and a 4.7 rating will win over a business with zero reviews every time — regardless of which one has a better website.
Our Services
We claim your listing (or create one if it doesn't exist), navigate Google's verification process, and make sure you own it. If someone else has claimed it, we handle the dispute process.
Business categories, description, attributes, service areas, hours, special hours, Q&A — we fill in every field Google offers. Complete profiles get 7x more clicks than empty ones.
We add professional photos of your business, team, products, and space. Businesses with photos receive 42% more requests for directions and 35% more click-throughs to their website.
We monitor your profile for changes, respond to reviews on your behalf, post updates, and keep your information current. Google rewards active profiles with better placement.
The Data
These aren't our numbers. This is what Google and independent research consistently show about the impact of a complete, optimized business profile.
Is This for You?
You need to be visible on Google immediately. A Google Business Profile is the fastest way to show up in search results — before you have a website, before you have reviews, before you have any online presence at all.
You search for your own business and it doesn't come up — or worse, the information is wrong. Your hours are outdated, your address is your old location, or someone else's photos are showing. We fix all of this.
You notice that competitors show up above you in Google Maps, even though you've been in business longer. A properly optimized profile can change your ranking significantly.
Pricing
Google Business Profile setup is included in our Standard, Premium, and Agency website packages. If you just need the profile without a website, we offer it as a standalone service.
FAQ
A Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is the free listing that shows up when someone searches for your business or your type of business on Google. It displays your business name, address, phone number, hours, photos, reviews, and website link. It appears in Google Search results and on Google Maps. It's the single most important piece of your online presence for local businesses.
Absolutely. Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing customers see — before your website. 87% of consumers use Google to evaluate local businesses. Without a profile, you're invisible in the local map pack, which is where most customers start their search for local services. Your website and your profile work together: the profile gets eyeballs, and the website closes the deal.
Setup takes 1-2 business days. Verification can take 3-14 days depending on the method Google requires — sometimes it's instant, sometimes they send a postcard. We handle the entire process and keep you updated. Once verified, your listing is live and visible to customers searching in your area.
Yes. This is more common than you'd think — a former employee, a marketing agency you no longer work with, or even Google creating a listing automatically from public data. We handle the dispute and transfer process with Google to get your listing under your control.
