The listing on Google Maps
Google Business Profile for service businesses

Who this is for
On Google Maps, your profile does the talking: hours, photos, reviews and the call button. One set up years ago and never touched can show an old number or the wrong category. Our free checklist covers the basics, and local SEO, the wider work of showing up on the map, covers the rest.
A good fit if you
- Set up a profile once and forgot it
- Visit customers at home, or run a shop
- Want every review to get a reply

We start with what Google shows: who manages the profile, whether it is verified, the name, the main category and the service areas. Google's guidelines ask for your real-world name, and its category help says your categories affect local ranking. Website fixes go to our web design team.
Make sure your address and/or service area is accurate and precise.

Google Business Profile questions
Is the profile free?
Yes. Google charges nothing to create or keep a Business Profile, and you can add or claim yours yourself. You pay us for the time it takes to set it up well and keep it that way.
Can you promise a top spot?
No. Google says there is no way to request or pay for a better local ranking. We work on what it looks at: relevance, distance and how well known your business is.
No storefront. Is that OK?
Yes. If you drive to your customers, Google asks you to remove your address and list the areas you serve instead, up to 20 of them.
Can you get us more reviews?
We help you ask every customer, with a Google link or QR code your crew can share. We never buy reviews or offer anything for them; Google prohibits that.
Do you post for us?
Yes, with your approval. Google posts share updates, offers and events right on your profile, in Search and on Maps.
Talk to Offer before you decide anything.
You'll talk with Offer, not a sales rep. A short call, no pitch deck.
Pick a time on the contact page, or call. Offer will ask about your business, then tell you honestly what he'd do first.
