I will optimize your google business profile and local listings


About this gig
Your Google Business Profile is the first thing local customers see, and most profiles are broken. Wrong category, missing services, an old address, no posts since 2023. Google shows the complete profiles first, so incomplete ones lose the call before the customer ever reaches a website.
I did this work inside a national digital marketing agency, following a written local SEO process: keywords built by service and town, categories matched to how Google files businesses, posts written to Google's own rules. Same process here, priced for one local business instead of an agency retainer.
What I fix: your category, because "garden center" and "furniture maker" are not interchangeable. Your service areas, set to where you truly work. Your description and services, in the language customers search. Your posts, a steady weekly drumbeat. And name, address, and phone matching everywhere, the unglamorous part that sinks profiles.
Run your business from home? I set you up as a service-area business, so Google verifies your address privately and never publishes it.
Every draft is AI-assisted and reviewed by me before delivery. You get finished work, not a prompt output.

FAQ
What do you need from me to start?
Manager access to your Google Business Profile (you stay the owner, I will send simple steps), your correct business name, address, and phone, your service list, and the towns you serve.
My profile is stuck on "Google requires additional info." Can you help?
Yes. That message usually means a verification problem, often a shared address or a category conflict. Order the Standard package and send me a screenshot of what Google is asking for. I will walk you through the exact fix, including video verification if Google asks for it.
Do you guarantee first place on Google Maps?
No, and you should not hire anyone who does. I guarantee a complete, correct, active profile built on the same process agencies use. That is what earns the ranking over time.
What kinds of businesses is this for?
Single-location and service-area businesses: makers, trades, home services, shops, clinics, anyone whose customers are within driving distance.
Can you keep managing it after the setup?
Yes. Monthly management covers weekly posts, photo updates, review responses, and listing checks. Order a package first, then message me about the monthly rate.
Why does the category matter so much?
Because Google only shows your profile for searches that match it. The wrong primary category makes you invisible for the searches your customers actually type.
