Websites & Visibility · Google Business Profile Management

Own your corner of the map.

For a local business, the Google Business Profile is often the first impression: it shows up in Search and Maps before anyone reaches your website. We set profiles up properly, optimize them, and manage them month after month so yours keeps earning calls.

For local businesses across Vancouver, Surrey, the Lower Mainland, and the rest of BC.5.0 on Google

The usual story

Most profiles are claimed once, then forgotten.

The pattern is familiar. The profile exists because Google insisted, the photos are years old, half the services are missing, and the last review sits unanswered. Meanwhile the business ranks on page two for searches it should own in its own neighbourhood.

This service is for businesses whose customers start on Google or Maps: trades, clinics, home services, hospitality, professional services across Vancouver, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland. If people search for what you do near where you are, the profile deserves the same attention as the website.

What's included

Every part of the profile, managed.

Local visibility is not one trick. It is a list of small maintenance habits done patiently, and we run the whole list so you do not have to remember it exists.

  • Profile audit and cleanup

    We go through every field: categories, services, attributes, hours, service area. Small mistakes in these details hold profiles back, and we fix them first.

  • Local keyword targeting

    We research the exact phrases your neighbours type into Search and Maps, then work them through your description, services, and posts so the right searches find you.

  • Photography direction

    A shot list that actually performs: exterior, interior, team, work in progress, finished jobs. We shoot it or direct your photographer.

  • Review strategy

    A repeatable way to ask (by text, by email, by QR) plus thoughtful response templates, so five-star reviews keep turning into more five-star reviews.

  • Posts and Q&A management

    Weekly Google posts, seeded questions and answers, and seasonal offers, so your profile keeps signalling that you are open, busy, and worth clicking.

  • Map pack reporting

    Monthly grid-rank tracking across your service area. You see exactly where you rank for which terms, and what we are doing about it.

How it works

Set up once. Improved continually.

Setup, optimization, and ongoing management are three different jobs. Most engagements need all three, in that order.

01

Setup

If the profile does not exist, or was claimed once and abandoned, we set it up properly: verified, complete, and accurate in every field Google reads.

02

Optimization

We rebuild the weak parts: categories, services, description, photos, and the details that decide which searches you appear for.

03

Ongoing management

A profile is not a set-and-forget asset. We keep posts, photos, reviews, and details current, and report plainly on what changed.

FAQ

Straight answers about the profile.

  • No. A Google Business Profile can drive real bookings on its own, and we are happy to start there. That said, a fast, trustworthy website gives the clicks the profile earns somewhere to land, so we often suggest sequencing the two.

  • Timelines vary too much for an honest promise. Established competitors and dense urban categories take longer to shift; smaller towns and underserved categories can move sooner. Either way, the monthly grid-rank reports show you the movement as it happens, so progress is never a matter of taking our word for it.

  • No, and you should walk away from anyone who does. Google's local results weigh proximity, prominence, and relevance, and proximity is geography nobody can change. We optimize everything that can be controlled and report on it honestly.

  • Yes. Google renamed Google My Business to Google Business Profile, and profiles are now managed directly through Search and Maps. Same listing, newer name, and we manage it under either one.

  • Most of our work is in BC and the Pacific Northwest, because local search benefits from local context. We take on out-of-region clients case by case, usually through a referral.
