Google Business Profile Optimization Service
Our Google Business Profile optimization (GBP) service is aimed at taking your local business listing to the next level, helping to increase your local exposure and map rankings. While having a free Google Business Profile listing (formerly known as Google My Business) is a great first step to garnering local exposure, optimizing your profile will help you make gains faster.
Rank Higher in Google Map Results with an Optimized GBP Listing
Map listing search results are a zero-sum game.
When a competitor's listing ranks in local search map results (usually a 3-Pack of map results), it is pushing other businesses down in the list.
Optimizing your GBP profile gives your business an edge so that you have a more prominent local presence and the opportunity to appear in more map 3-pack results. In competitive niches, it will at least level the playing field setting you up to pursue more advanced SEO techniques.
How the Google Business Profile Optimization KickStart Works
We will consult with you (in person, via video or phone) before we start the project to understand your business goals and strategies.
Then we'll make sure your Google Business Profile exists and is verified, and that you have ownership of it. We'll ask you to add us as managers on the profile so that we can start optimizing.
Once these basics are in place, we'll proceed with all of the optimization items in the GBP optimization KickStart.
