What's Included
Everything you need to grow your business online, delivered by experts.
GBP Setup & Verification
We handle the complete Google Business Profile creation or claim process, including selecting the correct business categories, adding all business attributes, writing a keyword-rich business description, and managing the verification process — whether by postcard, phone, video, or instant verification.
Category & Description Optimization
Choosing the right primary and secondary categories is one of the most impactful ranking factors on Google Maps. We research and select the optimal category combination for your business type and craft a compelling, keyword-rich business description within Google's 750-character limit to maximize relevance signals.
Photo & Video Management
Listings with photos receive 42% more direction requests and 35% more website clicks. We optimize your GBP with a complete photo strategy including exterior, interior, team, product, and service images — all properly named and geotagged. We also publish video walkthroughs and service demos to increase engagement.
Review Generation & Management
Star ratings are among the top factors in local ranking and consumer trust. We implement ethical, automated review generation workflows via SMS and email to consistently grow your reviews. We also monitor and respond to all reviews within 24 hours with professional, brand-aligned responses.
Google Posts & Q&A Optimization
Google Posts appear directly in your listing and drive click-throughs for offers, events, and updates. We publish weekly posts with compelling CTAs to keep your listing active and relevant. We also seed and answer strategic Q&As to pre-empt customer queries and incorporate target keywords naturally.
Local Citation Building
We build consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) citations across 50+ high-authority Indian and global directories including JustDial, Sulekha, IndiaMart, Yellow Pages, Bing Places, and Apple Maps. Consistent citations across the web strengthen Google's trust in your business information and boost your Maps ranking.
GBP Insights Reporting
Every month, you receive a detailed report covering profile views, search queries that triggered your listing, direction requests, phone calls, website clicks, and photo views. We translate these insights into actionable recommendations to continually improve your local visibility and lead flow.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Google Business Profile and why is it important?
Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is a free tool that controls how your business appears on Google Search and Google Maps. An optimized GBP listing helps you appear in the Local Pack (the top 3 map results), which captures over 40% of local search clicks. It is essential for any business serving local customers.
How long does Google Business Profile verification take?
Verification timelines vary. Postcard verification typically takes 5-14 business days. Video verification and phone verification are usually instant or same-day. We handle the entire verification process on your behalf and follow up with Google Support if any issues arise.
Can you help improve my Google Maps ranking?
Yes. Ranking in the Google Maps 3-Pack depends on three factors: relevance, distance, and prominence. Our optimization strategy addresses all three, typically achieving noticeable ranking improvements within 4-8 weeks.
Do you manage Google reviews as part of the service?
Yes. Our ongoing GBP management includes monitoring and responding to all reviews within 24 hours. We also implement ethical review generation strategies such as automated SMS/email review request flows to consistently grow your review count and star rating.
What are local citations and why do they matter?
Local citations are mentions of your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) on directories like JustDial, Sulekha, IndiaMART, Yelp, and hundreds of others. Consistent citations across the web signal trustworthiness to Google and directly impact your Maps ranking. We build and clean up citations to ensure NAP consistency.
Is Google Business Profile optimization a one-time service?
The initial setup and optimization is a one-time effort. However, ongoing management — posting weekly Google Posts, responding to reviews, updating photos, monitoring insights, and refreshing the Q&A section — is a monthly service. Businesses that stay active on GBP consistently outrank those that do not.
