Show Up First on Google Maps

51% of consumers use Google Maps for local search. Your Google Business Profile is what they see — and most are incomplete, outdated, or invisible.

I optimize every part of your GBP — photos, keywords, service areas, reviews, and monthly posts — so homeowners searching for your trade find you in the map pack instead of a competitor. Transparent process. No contracts.

The Problem

Your Google Business Profile Is Costing You Calls

Most profiles are incomplete, out of date, or set up wrong. You're losing visibility — and calls — without knowing it.

Incomplete or Out-of-Date Profile

Missing hours, wrong address, no service areas listed — every gap is a signal to Google that your business isn't worth showing. An incomplete profile doesn't just rank lower. It loses the click.

Few Reviews or a Rating Under 4.0

Google shows your star rating in search results. If a competitor has 40 reviews at 4.8 stars and you have 6 at 3.9, you've lost the trust comparison before they even read your name.

Wrong Categories or Missing Services

If your primary category doesn't match what you actually do, Google won't connect you to the right searches. I see this in nearly every profile I audit — and it's one of the fastest fixes with the biggest impact.

No Photos — or Photos from 2019

Profiles with recent, relevant photos get significantly more click-throughs. Stale or missing photos signal a neglected business. Google notices. So do customers.

More than half the people looking for your service are using Google Maps — not the website results. If your profile is weak, you're invisible to more than half your potential customers.

The Fix

Here’s How I Fix It

I audit every part of your Google Business Profile against Google’s ranking factors, then fix what’s holding you back — categories, photos, descriptions, services, and review strategy.

Get into the Google Map Pack in 30–90 days.

The Map Pack is the block of 3 businesses that appears at the top of Google when someone searches for your service. That’s where the calls come from. A fully optimized GBP is the single biggest lever for getting there.

What I Actually Optimize

1. Profile Completeness & Accuracy

Business name, address, phone, hours, service areas, and attributes — every field verified for consistency. Incomplete or inconsistent information is one of the most common reasons profiles don’t rank.

2. Category & Keyword Strategy

Your primary and secondary categories control which searches you’re eligible to appear in. I select the correct categories and optimize your description with the keywords your customers actually use.

3. Photo & Post Strategy

Profiles with recent, relevant photos receive significantly more engagement. I set up a photo upload schedule and create monthly posts that keep your profile active — both of which signal freshness to Google.

4. Review System

I build you a review request process: templates, timing, and response scripts for every star rating. More reviews — and a higher average — directly improve Map Pack rankings and convert more visitors into calls.

You’ll see every change I make.

Every month I send you a report showing your profile performance, visibility trend, and review growth. You’ll know exactly what changed, why it changed, and what’s next. No black-box work.
