How the setup runs
Setup takes 7 to 14 business days. Most of that is waiting on Google’s verification, so we do the rest in the meantime.
- 1
Check what already exists
We search for any existing or duplicate profiles for your business and compare your name, address and phone number with your website. Duplicates and mismatches are a common reason a business does not show on Google Maps.
- 2
Claim and verify
We take care of Google’s verification, whether that is a postcard, a phone call or a short video, until the profile is live.
- 3
Categories, services and service area
We pick your main and extra categories, set the suburbs you serve, write the description and list your services with prices.
- 4
Photos, posts and questions
We upload 10 to 15 of your best photos, schedule your first 3 posts and add 3 to 5 common questions with answers.
- 5
Messaging and reviews
We switch on messaging with an automatic welcome reply, link your booking calendar and give you a short review link to send to customers.
- 6
Match it to your website
We check that your website shows the same business name, address and phone number as the profile, and tell you exactly what to change if it does not. If you are on the monthly plan, we carry on from here.
Google Business Profile problems we find in audits
Most local SEO work starts by fixing what is already there. These came up in two recent audits. The full write-ups are on our projects page.
Audit
A Western Sydney kitchen renovation business
The business had invested in suburb pages and reviews, but its Google profile and website disagreed with each other.
- The address and postcode on the Google Business Profile did not match the website
- The map pin sat in the wrong suburb
- No contractor licence number or ABN shown anywhere
- No structured data telling Google it was a local business, with its address, phone and service area
Audit
Solar Strong, Sydney and regional NSW
A solar installer with a five-star Google rating and reviews praising clear advice and tidy installs. The website did not back that trust up.
- No ABN, accreditation or licence details on the website
- No business structured data or social sharing tags
- No analytics, so there was no way to see which enquiries came from Google
Questions we get asked
How much does it cost?
A one-off setup is $550 plus GST. If you want us to keep working on the profile after launch, it is $550 plus GST to set up and then $350 plus GST a month. There is no lock-in: you can cancel or pause the monthly plan with 30 days’ notice.
How long does setup take?
Seven to 14 business days. The variable is Google’s verification step, which can be a postcard, a phone call or a video walkthrough depending on your business. We handle that process for you rather than leaving you to work it out.
Do I have to take the monthly plan?
No. The one-off setup is a complete piece of work and plenty of businesses stop there. The monthly plan suits businesses in competitive suburbs where profiles that keep posting and collecting reviews pull ahead of ones that sit still.
What if I do not have a shopfront customers visit?
Google supports service-area businesses that work from home or on the road, and you can hide your street address while still showing the suburbs you cover. It is a common setup for trades and mobile services.
How many photos do you add?
We organise and upload 10 to 15 of your best photos: team, premises, vehicles or completed work. Photos are one of the parts of a profile customers actually look at, so it is worth sending real ones rather than stock.
Will this get my website ranking too?
Not by itself. A Google Business Profile drives the map results and the local pack. Getting the website itself ranking in normal search results is separate work, which is what Website SEO covers. The two support each other.
