Which of these is you?

Four starting points. The first line under each is a made-up example for the business type above.

Key of
  1. No profile, or someone else made one years ago

    Start with setup. We create or reclaim it for a place you really operate from.

    The bakery’s Maps listing was made by a former owner, and nobody can log in.A new chair-rental shop with no profile, so the booking link has nowhere to live.The shop opened this spring and has no Maps listing at all.The roastery sells online and has no profile, so nobody finds the pickup window.A one-truck outfit run from a house, with no profile and no sign out front.A new flower stand that shows up on Instagram but not on Maps.

    Start with Google Business Profile setup $399

  2. You have one, and it’s a mess

    Wrong category, old hours, a description nobody wrote.

    The profile says closed on Mondays. You open on Mondays. Cake orders go elsewhere.Two categories, a haircut price from last year and a booking link that dead-ends.Wrong category, no repair listed, and a description copied off the website.Hours from before the second location, and a menu photo nobody can read.Listed as a plumbing supply store, with the home address showing on the map.Holiday hours still say last Valentine’s Day, and the phone is the old one.

  3. More than one place, or a few towns you drive to

    Each place needs its own profile, page brief and listings.

    The main bakery plus a second counter in Franklin, each needing its own profile.Three shops, one name, and two of them share a phone number on Maps.A shop in Germantown and a service van that covers Brentwood and Franklin.A cafe, a roastery and a wholesale pickup counter that all show up as one pin.One office and crews that drive to Franklin, Brentwood and Murfreesboro.The shop and a cooler you deliver from, each at a different address.

    Start with Multi-location local pack (up to 3) $1,999

The profile’s fine. The rest of the web disagrees with it. Old phone number on three directories. Citation clean-up $499

About verification

Google decides whether a profile gets verified. Sometimes it’s a postcard, sometimes a video, sometimes it takes a second try. We prepare the profile so it’s accurate and ready, and we tell you what Google is asking for. We can’t promise a profile will be approved, ranked or reinstated.

Service-area businesses, like a plumber working from home: we hide the address and set the areas you drive to. We only work on profiles for places and areas you really operate from.

The review rules

The review kit follows Google’s policy and the FTC’s, so it’s short on tricks.

  1. The request goes to every customer. Not just the ones who seemed happy.

  2. No discounts or gifts for reviews.

  3. No staff quotas, no staff names to mention, no scripted keywords.

  4. We don’t write or buy reviews for anyone.

You get the wording for texts, receipts and a small page with the link. Replies to reviews get templates you edit, since a reply that sounds like a form letter is worse than no reply.

What to send us

  1. Your business name exactly as it’s on the door or the van.
  2. The address you operate from, or the areas you serve.
  3. A manager invite on your profile. Never a password.
  4. Photos, if you have them. If you don’t, the photo plan says which ones to take.
