In short

We create or claim the profile, complete verification and fix duplicates.
Categories, services, hours, service areas and descriptions are set to match what people search for.
We publish photos and posts, reply to reviews and set up a simple way to collect new ones.
In our experience, a completed and active profile usually starts to get more views in Maps within 1–3 months.
Results are tracked in Business Profile performance and GA4.

Google Business Profile on a smartphone

What ranks a business in Google Maps

Google names three main factors for local results: relevance (how well the profile matches the search), distance (how far the business is from the searcher) and prominence (how well known the business is, including reviews and links). We work on relevance through categories, services and descriptions, and on prominence through reviews, photos, posts and consistent contacts across directories and the website. Distance cannot be changed, so for service-area businesses we set service areas correctly and support them with location pages on the site.

How we optimise a Google Business Profile

Verification. We claim or create and verify the profile.
Completion. We set categories, services, photos and description.
Reviews and posts. We reply, collect reviews and publish posts.
Tracking and report. We track calls and visits and report monthly.

How we optimise a Google Business Profile

How long does it take to see results in Google Maps?

In our experience, profile setup and verification usually take 1–2 weeks, though Google may ask for extra verification that takes longer. Growth in views and actions usually becomes visible in 1–3 months of regular activity.

Results depend on distance to the searcher, competition in your category, the number and rating of reviews and the consistency of your contacts across the web. Google decides verification and suspensions.

What affects the cost

We quote after the audit. The price depends on:

number of locations;
state of the profile: new, duplicated or suspended;
number of posts and photos per month;
review management scope;
local SEO work on the website.

What we need from you

Owner access to the profile or the data needed to verify the business.
Photos of the premises, team and work, or time for a shoot.
Accurate hours, services and service areas.
A contact who approves replies to difficult reviews.

What you get and how we measure it

Profile results are measured in numbers from Google:

views in Maps and Search, calls, website clicks and direction requests;
number of reviews and average rating;
visits and leads from the profile in GA4;
monthly report with actions taken.

Why profile management is safer with a team

Business Profile suspensions and lost ownership are common problems:

keyword stuffing in the business name, which leads to suspension;
several duplicate profiles splitting reviews;
profile owned by a former employee or contractor;
fake reviews that Google removes, sometimes with restrictions on the profile.
