Add to your setup

Optional, priced once. Each is handled by a specialist in that discipline and delivered during your first three months.

Your profile. Your listings. Your reviews.

Your Google Business Profile stays under your ownership, and every directory listing we create or claim is set up in your business's name. We are added as a manager you can remove at any time. If you stop working with us, your profile, your reviews, your photos and every listing stay exactly where they are; nothing is held back and nothing has to be rebuilt.
If someone else controls your profile today, a past agency or an employee who has left, say so in the intake. Getting it back to you is part of setup.

Complete steps 1 and 2 to check out. The rest can be finished from your private link after purchase. Your specialist is assigned the same day and starts research and listings cleanup as soon as you check out. Setup is complete within 15 business days of your completed intake and manager access to your profile. If it is not, we refund one month of management.

What you receive

A Business Profile built properly. The right categories, services, hours, photos, description and attributes, so Google understands exactly what you do and where.
Listings that agree with each other. Your business name, address and phone made consistent across the directories that matter, and duplicates and old listings cleaned up.
Local signals on your website. Your location, service area and business details marked up on your site in the format search engines read.
Monthly management by a named specialist. Posts, photos, review replies, listing upkeep and profile updates, every month, not when someone remembers.
A monthly map grid and report. Where you rank across your service area, what we did, and what changed. A quarterly review is included.
Your profile, in your name. You own it; we are a manager you can remove at any time.

Inside your monthly report

Written for an owner, not an analyst. Arrives in the first week of every month.

Your map grid. Your ranking at points across your service area, side by side with last month's, so you can see where you are showing up and where you are not.
What customers did. Calls, direction requests and website visits from your profile, as Google reports them.
What we did. Posts published, reviews answered, photos added, listings fixed, so the work is visible rather than assumed.
Your reviews. New reviews, your average, and how each one was answered.
What we plan next month. And anything we need from you, such as photos of a recent job or a change in hours.
Each report stays at your private link, so after a few months you have a running record of your local presence in plain language. Every third month, the report includes a quarterly review.

How this works

Step 1
You fill in the intake and check out. Everything we need is on this page. No discovery call, no proposal.
Step 2
A specialist is assigned the same day. They research your area and competitors, find your listings across the web, and take your first map grid.
Step 3
You add us as a manager on your profile. The one step only you can do; about two minutes.
Step 4
We rebuild your profile and clean up your listings. Complete within 15 business days of manager access.
Every month after that
Weekly: new reviews answered, profile questions handled.
Monthly: posts, photos and listing upkeep; your map grid and report.
Quarterly: a step back to decide what should change next.

This is for you if

Your customers search for businesses like yours on Google Maps, and they are finding your competitors.
Your Business Profile was set up years ago and nobody has really touched it since.
You have good reviews but too few of them, or reviews nobody has answered.
You serve a clear local area and want to be found across all of it, not only a few blocks from your door.
You have been offered "page one guaranteed" before and want someone who will tell you what is actually possible.
This is not for you if
Your customers are spread across the country and do not search locally. Our SEO Growth Management fits better.
You need customers this week. Local rankings take weeks to move; for immediate visibility, look at Google Ads Management.
You do not have a real address or a real service area. We will not create one.

Rules we never break with your profile

A suspended profile disappears from Google Maps overnight. These are the shortcuts that cause it, and we take none of them.

We never stuff keywords into your business name. Adding "Best Plumber Vancouver" to a name can lift rankings for a while, then gets profiles suspended. Your name stays your real name.
We never buy, fake or trade reviews. Every review on your profile comes from a real customer. Not from us, not from a vendor, not from a friend asked to help.
We never reward customers for reviews. No discounts, draws or gifts in exchange for a review. Google does not allow it, and it shows.
We never filter out unhappy customers. Every customer can leave a review. Asking only the happy ones, known as review gating, breaks Google's rules.
We never use a fake or virtual address. Your profile shows where you actually work, or your real service area if customers come to you.
We never take ownership of your profile. You stay the owner. We are a manager you can remove the day you choose.
Many local SEO providers use at least one of these shortcuts, because they work until they do not. The rankings we build are slower and do not disappear.

What a free profile does not do on its own

Your Business Profile is free, and anyone can edit it. Keeping it right, every month, is the part that ranks.

It does not tell you which category matters. Google ranks you mostly on your primary category. Choosing it is a decision with consequences, and the profile gives you a list, not advice.
It does not see your other listings. Your profile can be perfect while three old directories show a previous address. Google notices the contradiction; you do not.
It does not keep itself active. Profiles that stop posting, adding photos and answering reviews quietly lose ground to the ones that do.
It does not answer reviews for you. A bad review left unanswered for a month is read by every customer who finds you in that month.
It does not show you where you rank. Rankings change block by block. Searching your own name from your own office tells you almost nothing.
Listing tools and apps can help with parts of this, and we use some of them ourselves. The difference is a person who decides what your profile needs and does it every month.

What we usually find

The same problems come up again and again, across very different businesses.

The wrong primary category. "Contractor" when customers search for a roofer, so the profile competes for the wrong searches.
Two profiles for one business. Created years apart, splitting reviews and confusing Google about which one is real.
An old address or phone number on directories. Left over from a move, quietly contradicting the profile.
A profile owned by someone who has left. A past employee or agency still in control, with the business unable to change its own hours.
Reviews with no replies. Including the one-star review every new customer reads first.
No photos since the day it was created. Or only a logo and a stock image.
A website that never mentions the area it serves. So nothing connects the site to the places the business wants to be found.

Why local businesses choose us

No shortcuts that get profiles suspended. No keyword-stuffed names, no bought reviews, no fake addresses. Slower, and it lasts.
One named specialist for as long as you stay. Not a rotating team, not a ticket queue.
You can see the work. A map of where you rank and a list of what we did, every month.
Your profile stays yours. You own it, and our access ends the day you remove it.
Fixed prices on the page. No proposal, no call, no surprise line items. After your first three months, you can leave any month.

Frequently asked questions

Could I not just manage my profile myself?

Yes, and the profile gives you every tool to do it. What it does not give you is the judgment about category, listings and reviews, or the discipline to post, reply and check listings every month for a year. Most owners start well and stop by the third week. You are paying for the decisions and the consistency.

What do I pay, and when?

$1,149 once for setup, and $1,299 a month for management. Today you pay setup plus your first three months, $5,046. From month four, $1,299 bills monthly on the same date until you cancel.

Why are the first three months paid upfront?

Google takes weeks to trust a cleaned-up profile and consistent listings. Judging local SEO after one month usually means judging it before it has started working. Paying for the first three months together covers the time it needs. After that, you can cancel any month.

How do I cancel?

From month four, from your account, any time before your next billing date. No call, no exit fee. Your profile, reviews and listings stay exactly as they are.

Will you get me into the top three on Google Maps?

We will not promise a ranking, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Rankings depend on how far a searcher is from you, your competitors, and Google. What we promise is a profile built properly, listings that agree, consistent monthly work, and a map that shows you honestly where you stand.

How soon will I see a difference?

Profile fixes can show in Google within days. Movement on the map usually takes six to twelve weeks, and keeps building over the months after. Your monthly map grid shows it as it happens.

What happens to my profile if I cancel?

Nothing, unless you choose. It stays yours, with every review, photo and post. Remove our access, and we hand over notes on what to keep doing.

My profile was set up by someone else. Can you take it over?

Yes. Tell us in the intake who controls it. Getting ownership back to you is part of setup.

My profile was suspended. Can you help?

Often, yes, if the suspension came from a mistake rather than a rule being broken deliberately. Tell us in the intake. We will not use workarounds to reinstate a profile that broke Google's rules.

I have more than one location. What do I do?

Each order covers one location, with its own setup, management and report. Place a separate order for each.

Do you respond to reviews for me?

Yes, if you want us to. In the intake, choose whether we reply directly in your voice, draft replies for you to approve, or monitor while you reply yourself.

Will you get me more reviews?

We answer every review you get. Getting more is what Review Generation Setup is for: a Google-compliant way to ask every customer, set up once.

I do not have a storefront. Can I still rank?

Yes. Service-area businesses can appear on the map without showing their address. You will need a real address for Google to verify you; it does not have to be public.

How is this different from SEO Growth Management?

This covers your Google Business Profile, your listings, your reviews and the local signals on your website: how you appear on the map. SEO Growth Management covers how your website as a whole ranks in organic results. Many local businesses need only this.

Who actually does the work? Is it AI?

A named local search specialist, the same one every month. AI helps with research and drafting, the way any professional uses a tool, but a person makes every change to your profile.

Be found by the customers already searching near you

A named specialist builds your profile, fixes your listings and manages your local presence every month, with a map that shows where you stand. $1,149 setup plus your first three months, then $1,299 a month.
