Google Business Profile is the single most powerful free ranking tool available to local businesses — and most businesses are leaving 80% of its potential untouched. Rise Marketing HQ handles every aspect of your GBP: full optimisation, weekly posts, review management, and the Map Pack strategy that puts you in the top 3 results when customers search for what you offer.
An unclaimed, incomplete, or stagnant GBP isn't just a missed opportunity — it's an active suppressor of your Map Pack rankings. Google's algorithm measures every field you ignore.
Most businesses select one primary category and call it done. Google uses your category, service list, and business description to match your profile against search queries. Every missing service is a keyword you can't rank for. Every vague description is a relevance signal you're wasting.
Google Business Profile posts are a direct ranking signal. Profiles that post regularly — service updates, offers, seasonal content, before/afters — consistently outrank inactive competitors in the Map Pack. Most businesses post once and never return. We post every week, every month, without fail.
Review response is in Google's published ranking documentation. Businesses that respond to reviews rank higher than those that don't. Beyond rankings: potential customers read review responses as much as they read reviews themselves. And without a request workflow, you're getting reviews by accident instead of by design — averaging 1–2 per quarter instead of 6+ per month.
Our GBP management covers every signal Google uses to rank local businesses — and every touchpoint a potential customer sees before they decide to call.
We audit every field of your GBP against Google's ranking algorithm, correct errors, and build the foundation that all other optimisations stack on top of. This is the fastest-impact action available for local rankings.
Your service list is Google's map of what you do. Every service name and description we write is intentionally matched to real search queries your customers use. Your business description is written with entity coverage — the way Google's NLP reads local content.
Google Posts keep your profile active — a direct signal Google weighs for freshness and engagement. We publish a mix of post types on a consistent weekly schedule: service highlights, special offers, seasonal promotions, before/after showcases, and news updates. No gaps, no forgetting.
Reviews are a top-3 Map Pack ranking factor and the first thing potential customers check before calling. We build a systematic review workflow that averages 6+ new Google reviews per month — and we respond to every review, including negatives, within 24 hours.
Photos are one of the most visible parts of your GBP — and one of the most neglected. Google profiles with regularly updated, high-quality photos receive significantly more clicks than those with only a few low-res images. We build a photo upload schedule and provide guidance on what to capture.
Every month you get a clear report showing exactly what your GBP is generating: profile views, search impressions, calls, direction requests, and website clicks — with month-over-month comparison. No jargon, no padding. Just the numbers that tell you whether your GBP is working.
Most GBPs are set up once and abandoned. A fully optimised profile has every field completed, every category selected with intent, and active signals — posts, reviews, photos — building its prominence score continuously. Here's a real sample of what we audit and fix.
One Waukesha contractor saw GBP profile views increase 340% within 60 days of full optimisation — before a single new review was added. The profile had existed for 3 years.
A Waukesha County home services contractor — every number verified in Google Business Profile Insights and call tracking.
GBP unclaimed for 8 months. One category. No service list. Generic description. Three citation errors across major directories. Zero post history. No review workflow.
Map Pack Top 3 reached at day 67. Full service list added (12 services). Business description rewritten. 47 reviews by month 6. Weekly posts maintained. All citation errors corrected.
GBP management has the fastest time-to-impact of any local SEO service. Most clients see meaningful impression increases within the first 30 days.
Before we discuss scope or pricing, we pull your current GBP data: profile completeness score, category match against your top keywords, photo count, post history, review count and response rate, and how your profile compares against your top 3 local competitors. You'll see exactly what's suppressing your visibility.
We access your GBP as a manager (you own it, always), and complete the full 50-point optimisation: primary and secondary categories, complete service list with keyword-matched names, business description, service area, attributes, hours, photos, and seeded Q&A. Most clients see GBP impression increases within the first 2–3 weeks.
Your custom review request workflow goes live: post-job SMS/email templates, timing sequences, and a QR code card if applicable. First new reviews typically appear within 2–3 weeks. The goal is 6+ new Google reviews per month — enough to close the review gap with Map Pack competitors in 3–6 months for most categories.
Every month: 4 Google Posts published, every new review responded to within 24 hours, profile monitored for Google-suggested edits or spam (competitors sometimes submit false edits to suppress rivals), and a full performance report delivered with impressions, calls, direction requests, and review trend. No month goes unmanaged.
Google Business Profile management is a commodity service most agencies automate and ignore after setup. We don't.
We manage as an added manager, never as owner. Your Google Business Profile belongs to you. If you leave, we remove our access and you keep everything — all posts, all reviews, full history. We've seen clients taken hostage by agencies who made themselves primary owner. We never do that.
Our monthly reports show GBP Insights data with month-over-month comparison: total searches, direct vs. discovery searches, views on Search vs. Maps, calls, direction requests, and website clicks. You always know what your GBP is generating and whether it's improving.
Every post is written by a human. Every review response is crafted specifically for that reviewer and that review. We don't use posting bots or AI-generated responses that Google can penalise. Genuine activity is what Google rewards.
GBP management is an ongoing service that compounds over time. But we earn your business every month through results — not through a 12-month exit fee. If your GBP isn't improving, you're free to leave. That keeps us focused on what matters.
GBP management can be a standalone service or bundled into our full Local SEO programme. No contracts on either option.
No contracts on either option. Pricing may vary for highly competitive markets. We'll confirm after the free audit.
Before we speak, we pull your GBP health score, profile completeness against 50 data points, review gap vs. your top 3 competitors, and current Map Pack position for your primary service keywords. You'll know exactly what's holding you back — before spending a dollar.
Tell us your business — we'll pull your GBP score, Map Pack position, and competitor review gap before we speak.
