This product focuses on optimizing Google Business Profiles (GBPs) and involves regular citation building on directories and creating Google Map stacks. The goal is to enhance the GBP listing's performance within a geo-circle that gradually expands. The team will identify two primary keywords per location, using them to create citation stacks directly on Google Maps. These stacks improve proximity, a key factor in local pack keyword ranking. By building citations on Google Maps, our stacks complement best practices for GBPs and boost results. Please note that this product supports GBP listing efforts through regular citation building and optimization but does not replace them.

To boost your local search visibility and really stand out in those Google Maps results, there are a handful of profile features you should pay special attention to:

•  Business Description: Write a clear, keyword-rich description that showcases what makes you different.

•  Categories: Make sure you’re listed under the right primary and secondary categories to help Google (and customers) find you.

•   Business Hours: Keep your hours up to date, including special holiday hours—nothing frustrates customers faster than showing up to a locked door.

•   Reviews: Request, monitor, and respond to customer reviews regularly—it’s a huge trust signal for both Google and potential clients.

•   Photos & Videos: Upload new, high-quality photos and videos often. Show off your team, products, happy customers, and even the front of your building for easy recognition.

•   Posts: Use Google Posts to share updates, news, events, or promotions, letting your listing stay fresh and active.

•   Q&A Section: Answer frequently asked questions in advance and respond promptly to new ones.

•    Products & Services: List all your offerings with detailed info and pricing so people know exactly what you provide.

•   Attributes: Take advantage of attributes like “Wheelchair Accessible” or “Women-led”—they help define your business and attract more of your target audience.

•   Bookings & Appointments: If relevant, enable bookings directly through your profile to make it effortless for customers to engage with you.

•   Local Justifications: Highlight unique features that help justify why your business deserves to appear for specific searches, like “free parking” or “pet-friendly.”

Dialing in these features not only makes your profile more attractive to searchers, but also increases your odds of ranking higher in the local pack.

Sticking to Google’s official best practices isn’t just about staying out of trouble—it’s the foundation for lasting local SEO results. When you keep your Google Business Profile honest and up-to-date, you’re signaling to both Google and potential customers that you’re a trustworthy business.

Here’s why playing by the rules pays off:

• Improved Rankings: Accurate information helps your profile show up for the right search queries—no guesswork, just real visibility.

• Trust and Credibility: Prospective customers can count on finding your actual hours, services, and location, which boosts their confidence in choosing you.

• No Sudden Surprises: Following the guidelines means you’re less likely to face suspensions or penalties that could wipe out your progress.

In short, making sure every detail (like your address, business name, and hours) reflects reality sets you up for long-term growth—and helps you outrank competitors who might cut corners.

The time it takes to see improvements and tangible ranking increases for our core keywords depends on their competitiveness. On average, you can expect to see ranking improvements within 6-16 weeks. However, other factors, such as previous penalties and suspensions, can also affect performance.

Our package is ideal for businesses with an active Google Business Profile listing. A crucial part of our process involves creating directions to and from your business location to enhance proximity. Therefore, having a Google Business Profile with a listed address will allow you to gain the most benefit from our services.

The Google Business Profile Pro Optimization Package is a new product designed to enhance clients' visibility and rankings on both the local pack and local finder.

Traditional onsite Search Engine Optimization (SEO) focuses primarily on enhancing a website's visibility, with only some attention given to Google Business Profile (GBP) listings. While our standard onsite SEO package includes elements of GBP, it's not the main focus. In contrast, our Google Business Profile Pro Optimization package is designed specifically to improve the visibility of your GBP. This service complements traditional onsite SEO by boosting keywords in the local pack and local finder, while onsite optimization enhances organic rankings for both desktop and mobile searches.

To stay in Google’s good graces and sidestep unwanted penalties, it’s important to stick to proven best practices when optimizing your Google Business Profile. Here’s how to keep your listing on the right track:

• Be Truthful and Accurate: Ensure all business details—name, address, phone number, hours, and categories—match your actual operations. Avoid exaggerations, misleading descriptions, or stuffing keywords in your business name or profile.

• Keep Information Up-to-Date: Regularly review your profile and update it whenever you change hours, locations, services, or contact details. Outdated info can lead to confusion or, worse, suspensions.

• Choose the Right Categories: Select primary and secondary categories that precisely reflect the products or services your business offers. Don’t add unrelated categories just to appear in more searches.

• Follow Google’s Guidelines: Familiarize yourself with and adhere to Google's guidelines for Business Profiles. This includes proper handling of customer reviews, using genuine photos, and refraining from fake or spammy content.

• Avoid Prohibited Content: Never include prohibited information such as promotional offers, URLs in the business name, or offensive language anywhere in your profile.

• Monitor Reviews Responsibly: Respond respectfully to reviews and do not attempt to purchase fake reviews or incentivize customers for positive feedback.

How to set up your Google Business Profile from scratch

If your profile doesn't exist, you'll need to create it from scratch. Here are two ways to add your business on Google:

•     Google Maps
•     Google Create page

How high you can rank and how quickly you can get there depends on your local market (the number of competing businesses in your local area and the strength of their SEO efforts). This will vary significantly between different industries and cities/regions.

We aim to improve your online visibility, drive search traffic to your site, and generate leads for your business. Like most quality things, SEO doesn’t work overnight and you shouldn’t expect it to. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. In some cases, you can see growth in just 1 month. In others, it may take up to 6 months. 

The easiest way to rank in multiple locations is to have physical offices in those locations, which you can create separate listings for. However, we often work with local businesses that have a service area spanning multiple cities but do not intend to open offices in those cities. We can use custom content to target these locations and help you rank in the organic results section below the map pack. with a service area spanning multiple cities but do not intend to open offices there

SEO is an ongoing process that requires continued effort if you want to keep outranking your competitors. If you stop your local SEO efforts, your site is likely to continue ranking for a little while, but it will start to decline. Many other businesses are working to outrank you, so when you stop, you give them the chance to pass you. It’s also important to note that it will take months to regain the ground you lost if you stop for long enough to see your rankings decrease.
