Google profile and local search
Local SEO for small businesses. Show up when nearby customers search.
For a local business the Google profile is often seen more than the website. We set it up or clean it up within Google's rules, make the site and the profile agree, and set up the habit that matters most, asking every customer for a review.
The problem, and what we do about it
Nearby customers search, look at the map results, and call one of the first three. The businesses that show up there have a verified profile with the right category, real hours, the services they actually offer, photos, steady reviews, and a website that says the same things. Local SEO is the work of getting each of those right.
We do that local SEO work within Google's rules. Profile set up or cleaned up, the right primary category, services and hours that match the website, and a site built so search engines understand who you are and where you work. Then the part that keeps paying, a review request to every customer after every job.
Who it's for
Honest on purpose, so nobody wastes a call.
A good fit
- Local service businesses that depend on the map results
- Businesses with an unclaimed, duplicate, or outdated Google profile
- Owners whose website and Google profile disagree on hours or services
Not a fit
- Anyone who wants keyword stuffed business names, fake addresses, or bought reviews. Those break Google's rules and can get a profile suspended
- A promise of a ranking position

Questions owners ask
How long does it take to show up higher?
There is no honest timeline. Google decides rankings from relevance, distance, and prominence. An accurate profile, a matching website, and steady reviews are the parts a business controls, and we set those up.
Can you verify our profile?
Verification is done by the owner through Google's own steps, such as a video or a postcard, and Google decides which one. We walk you through it.
We do not have a storefront. Can we still have a profile?
Yes. Service area businesses can hide their address and list the areas they serve. Google's rules say not to list an address customers cannot visit.
What does it cost?
With a new website the profile is checked and linked as part of the build, from $2,500. On its own, setup or cleanup is quoted after a short review. Review requests are a quick workflow at $750.
