Your GBP Is Probably Leaving Money on the Table

Most businesses claim their Google Business Profile and forget about it. Maybe they added their phone number and hours. Maybe they uploaded a photo once. But Google uses dozens of signals from your GBP to decide who appears in the local 3-pack — and an incomplete profile gets buried.

The local map pack drives 42% of all clicks for local searches. If you’re not showing up there, you’re invisible to nearly half your potential customers. The difference between a complete, optimized GBP and a basic one can be the difference between getting calls and getting ignored.

Google ranks GBP listings based on relevance, distance, and prominence.

You can’t control distance, but optimization directly improves relevance and prominence.

Frequently asked questions

We need viewer access to analyze your current profile. For Premium clients who want us to implement changes directly, we need manager access. We’ll send you step-by-step instructions for granting access — it takes about 2 minutes.

Each location gets its own optimization. We offer volume pricing for multi-location businesses — contact us for a custom quote. Each profile gets the same depth of optimization.

Most clients see improvements in local rankings within 2-4 weeks of implementing the optimizations. Google Posts and Q&A tend to impact visibility fastest. Full results typically appear within 6-8 weeks.

Premium adds three things: review response templates (professional replies for positive and negative reviews), three months of Google Posts content (instead of one month), and a citation consistency check across major directories.

No. This is a one-time optimization. The posting calendar and photo strategy give you a roadmap to maintain it yourself. If you want ongoing management, check out our Managed SEO plans.
