Services

Everything your Google presence needs

From a brand-new listing to a profile that outranks the competition, I handle the work that moves the needle.

Google Business Profile setup

New listing creation, verification help, correct categories, service areas, hours, and NAP consistency, done right from day one.

Profile optimization

Keyword-smart descriptions, services and products, photos, attributes, Q&A, and regular posts that signal relevance to Google.

Review generation

Simple, policy-compliant systems (QR codes, links, follow-up templates) that make it easy for happy customers to leave reviews.

Review management & replies

Thoughtful, on-brand responses to every review, positive or negative, so prospects see a business that listens.

Local search & Maps ranking

Local keyword research, citation cleanup, on-page tweaks, and rank tracking across your neighborhood map grid.

Profile recovery & cleanup

Suspended, duplicate, or neglected listing? I diagnose the problems and bring your profile back to a strong, trustworthy state.

How it works

A clear, simple process

No jargon, no guesswork. You'll always know what I'm doing and why.

  1. 1

    Free audit

    I review your profile, reviews, and local rankings against nearby competitors and send you a short, prioritized report.

  2. 2

    Game plan

    We agree on goals and a tailored plan, whether that's a one-time fix-up or ongoing growth.

  3. 3

    Optimize & grow

    I implement the fixes, launch your review system, and keep your profile active and fresh.

  4. 4

    Track & report

    Monthly plain-English updates on calls, direction requests, reviews, and ranking movement.

Why it matters

Your Google profile is your new front door

When someone nearby searches "near me," the businesses in the top map results get most of the clicks, calls, and visits. A complete, well-reviewed profile is often the difference between being chosen and being scrolled past.

FAQ

Common questions

How long until I see results?

Quick wins like a complete, accurate profile and new reviews often show up within weeks. Ranking improvements in competitive areas typically build over a few months of consistent work.

Do you guarantee the #1 spot on Google Maps?

No honest consultant can guarantee rankings. Google controls the results. What I do guarantee is proven, guideline-safe work and transparent reporting on progress.

Will you buy or fake reviews?

Never. Fake reviews violate Google's policies and can get your profile suspended. I build simple systems that help your real, happy customers leave genuine reviews.

I don't have a Google Business Profile yet. Can you help?

Absolutely. I'll help you create, verify, and fully set up your profile so it starts strong.

What do you need from me?

Manager access to your profile, a few photos, and about 30 minutes for a kickoff call. After that, I handle the heavy lifting and check in when I need your input.

Am I locked into a long contract?

No. Ongoing plans are month-to-month. I'd rather earn your business every month.
