GBP Setup & Management
Ongoing Google Business Profile management — the single fastest local SEO win available, and where most local buying decisions actually start.
Why this matters for your business
Your Google Business Profile is the most important free tool available to a local business. It is what appears in Google Maps, in the local pack, and in the knowledge panel when someone searches your name. A complete, accurate, actively-managed profile outranks incomplete ones — and it is the fastest lever available for local search visibility. We set it up properly and keep it current so you keep showing up.
What's included
- Google Business Profile created or refreshed
- Categories, hours and services set up
- Ongoing management under your retainer
What it isn't
- Fake reviews or review-buying schemes
- Guarantees on specific map pack positions
- Keyword-stuffed business descriptions
- Long-term contracts
How it works, step by step

We create a new profile or claim and verify your existing one — ensuring full ownership and control.
Complete & optimise
Correct categories, accurate hours, complete service descriptions, service area, and high-quality photos — the fundamentals most profiles get wrong.
Review management
Automated review request sequences set up so happy customers leave reviews, building your rating on autopilot.
Ongoing upkeep
Regular posts, updates, and accuracy checks under your retainer — so your profile stays active and keeps ranking.

Common mistakes this service prevents
An unverified profile, which Google treats as lower priority than verified competitors
Wrong or missing categories, so you never appear for the searches that matter
No review request system, so the reviews that build your rating never accumulate
A profile that hasn't been posted to in months, signalling an inactive business
Questions about gbp setup
Is Google Business Profile really free?
Yes — the profile itself is free. Our fee covers the setup, optimisation, and ongoing management that most businesses don't have time to do properly.
How long until my profile ranks in the map pack?
It depends on your area and competition. A complete, verified, actively-managed profile can show improvements within weeks. Read our guide on how long local SEO takes.
Do you handle reviews?
We set up automated review request sequences so happy customers are prompted to leave reviews. We don't fabricate reviews — genuine ratings build real trust.
Is GBP management included in the retainer?
Yes — ongoing GBP management is covered by your Management Retainer alongside hosting, LSA, and social media.
