Google Business Profile
RANK HIGHER ON
GOOGLE MAPS.
We set up, optimize, and manage Google Business Profiles for small businesses that want to show up in Google Maps and the local 3-pack. Categories, descriptions, photos, posts, reviews, and ongoing updates that drive calls and direction requests.
What We Do
Your Profile Doing Its Job
For local small businesses, Google Business Profile is the single highest-impact listing on the internet. It appears in Google Maps, in the local 3-pack at the top of search, in the knowledge panel on the right of desktop results, and now in AI summaries across generative search. Most prospects who find you through Google interact with your profile before they ever click through to your website.
A profile that is missing categories, thin on photos, or empty of posts will sit below competitors even when your business is stronger. We fix the foundation first: correct primary and secondary categories, a keyword-rich 750 character description, complete service and product menus, service area settings, and geotagged photos. Then we run it as an ongoing channel with weekly posts, review responses, Q&A management, and consistent updates.
Profile activity is also a ranking signal. The more signals your profile sends (posts, photos, reviews, Q&A answers, direct service edits), the more often Google treats it as a live, active business worth ranking. Pair that with your website SEO and your local citation consistency, and you have a local search presence that moves. We are based in Austin, TX and manage Google Business Profiles for small businesses nationwide.

Common Questions
FAQ
Google Business Profile is the free listing that appears in Google Maps and in the local pack of Google Search. For most small businesses that serve local customers, it is the single highest-impact local SEO asset. A well-optimized profile drives calls, direction requests, and website visits directly from search results, often before a customer ever clicks through to your site. Read more in our guide on Google Business Profile optimization.
Our $795 setup covers profile creation or verification, category selection (primary and secondary), a keyword-rich 750 character business description, service and product menu configuration, service area setup, photo uploads with geotagging, initial Google Posts, and Q&A seeding. We hand you back a complete, fully optimized profile.
The $495 monthly service keeps your profile active and ranking. We publish weekly Google Posts, upload new photos, respond to reviews, monitor and answer questions, update services and hours as needed, and track local ranking positions. We send a monthly report with insights, calls, direction requests, and rank changes.
Most profiles see movement in the local pack within 30 to 90 days of optimization. Early wins come from fixing category selection, filling out services, and adding photos. Sustained top-3 rankings require ongoing posts, steady review velocity, and citation consistency, which is why monthly management compounds over time.
If you serve local customers, yes. Google Business Profile and website SEO work together but serve different results. Your website ranks in organic search. Your profile ranks in Google Maps and the local 3-pack. Both appear on the same results page for most local queries, and a strong profile often gets clicked before the organic listings.
Yes. Review response is part of monthly management. We draft on-brand replies for you to approve, or we can respond directly with your sign-off. We also help you build a review request workflow so new reviews come in consistently, which is one of the strongest ranking signals for the local pack.
