Service
Google Maps and Local SEO
Who it's for
- Businesses that don't show up on the map at all, or show up with half their details missing
- Businesses with a backlog of reviews that have never been answered
- Restaurants, service shops and clinics that get their calls from the map
- Businesses with several branches whose listings need sorting out
For a local business, the first shop window often isn't even the website — it's the listing on the map. People search "near me" and pick one of the three or four listings they see, usually the one with complete details, decent photos and replies to its reviews. With this service I set up your Google Business Profile in full, keep it updated and manage your reviews professionally. It's the most direct visibility work there is, and it needs no ad budget.
What's included
A complete profile
Category, opening hours, phone, address, service list and photos are all gone through one by one. Every field a customer checks before deciding is filled in.
Review management
Reviews — positive and negative alike — get calm, professional replies written in your business's voice. A good reply to a bad review reassures every new customer who reads it.
Regular updates
New photos, offers and up-to-date information are added to the profile regularly. Instead of a listing nobody has touched in months, people see a shop window that's clearly alive.
Tracking and reporting
How often your profile is viewed and how many calls and direction requests it generates are tracked using Google's own data, and reported to you in plain language.
How we work
1. Taking stock
Do you have a listing, who controls it, and what state are its details in? All of this is checked. Unclaimed or duplicate listings are cleaned up.
2. Setup and completion
The profile is verified, every field is filled in, and photos are edited and uploaded.
3. Setting up review handling
The backlog of reviews is answered; we agree on a reply style together, and new reviews are followed up regularly.
4. Monthly upkeep and report
The profile is updated throughout the month, and at the end of each period you get a report on views and calls.
What you get
- A verified, fully completed Google Business Profile
- Answered reviews and an agreed reply style
- Regular content and photo updates
- A periodic report based on Google's data
- Consistent listings across multiple branches
Frequently asked questions
My business doesn't show up on the map at all. Do we start by creating a listing?
First I check what already exists: sometimes there is a listing, but it's unclaimed or duplicated. If there's none, I create one; if there is, it's claimed and verified. Then every field is filled in completely.
Do you write the replies to reviews?
We agree on the tone together, I write the replies, and if you like, I send them to you for approval before they're published. A calm, solution-focused reply to a negative review reassures every new customer who reads it.
How will I see the results?
Through Google's own business data: how many times your profile was viewed, how many calls and direction requests it generated, and which searches people used to find you. I report this to you regularly in plain language.
