How Google Business Profile optimization works.
Three steps. No mystery. Here's exactly what happens when you sign up for Google Business Profile setup and ongoing management.
Sign up and tell us about your business
You fill out a short intake questionnaire covering your business, services, service area, and goals. It takes about ten minutes. We'll also ask you to grant us Manager access to your Google Business Profile so we can do the work.
If you don't have a Google Business Profile yet, no problem, we'll create one for you.
We optimize your Google presence
Over the next two weeks, we complete a full audit and optimization:
- Rewrite your business description with keyword-rich, natural copy
- Research and set your optimal primary and secondary categories
- Enable every relevant attribute (wheelchair accessible, women-owned, veteran-owned, and more)
- Build out your services section with clear descriptions
- Upload or optimize at least 10 photos
- Seed your Q&A section with 3 to 5 common questions
- Audit your business listings across 30+ online directories and submit corrections
- Capture baseline rankings for your top 5 keywords
You get a complete report at the end of Month 1 showing what changed and where you stand.
