Google Business Profile

Why does a Google Business Profile matter?

Because for local searches the map results sit above the websites. When someone searches for a plumber, a dentist or a cafe near them, Google shows three businesses with their reviews, hours and a call button. Being one of those three is worth more than being first in the ordinary results, and it is decided largely by your profile.

Local SEO

Three spots in the map pack. Be one of them.

Categories & servicesPhotos & postsReview processLocation pages

Google ranks local businesses on relevance, distance and prominence. You cannot move your premises, but you control the other two. A complete, active profile with strong reviews outranks a neglected one.

We also connect the profile to your website: consistent name, address and phone details, and a page for each area you serve.

Reviews, steadily
